There's a vast array of bad actors in the supply chain of drug dealing in this episode. Take grammar school student Donald for example. I felt certain the little bugger was a pill pusher before his mom finked on him if only because of his name: Donald.
Donald's are not to be trusted and are usually involved in some sort of criminal activity. He sure looked harmless fast asleep as his mom searched his bedroom for illicit drugs, but he was probably dreaming up some kind of dubious scheme to bilk his classmates.
The Smith Family is like Dragnet only - unlike Joe Friday - Chad Smith has a family. And when Chad Smith goes about his police business he doesn't tend to engage in extended debates about the evils of the counter culture like Joe Friday loved to do. Friday would have had all sorts of characters to debate with in this episode. Chad Smith arrested them sans lecture cause that's the kind of cop he is. For Smith, it's more policing and less yammering.
