Selon James Ramer, la saisie aura un grand impact sur le marché de la drogue illicite dans la région de Toronto.

Mais, le professeur au Département de criminologie de l’Université d’Ottawa, Eugene Oscapella, croit que l’intervention policière pourrait entraîner également des effets pervers.

Selon lui, la saisie d’une aussi grande quantité de drogue pourrait créer une pénurie à Toronto, ce qui entraînerait une augmentation des prix de la drogue en circulation.Ça va augmenter les bénéfices des criminels qui n’ont pas été arrêtés. Et ça va forcer les gens qui ont une dépendance à commettre plus de crimes pour acheter les mêmes drogues à des prix plus élevés, explique-t-il.

Le spécialiste du marché de la drogue affirme que la saisie dissuadera certains criminels mineurs, mais que les grandes organisations criminelles trouveront toujours des moyens de continuer leurs activités.

Il faut trouver d’autres moyens.

Principalement, traiter les drogues comme une question de santé, un problème social, au lieu de le traiter comme un problème criminel
