I wonder why the police left out the part that James and Stacey were under surveilance, the cops blew their cover with amateurish work (this isn't James' first rodeo), and then had to pull them over to salvage the case. "

The only reason (besides meth psychosis paranoia) that a person would unload almost a quarter-ounce of meth and then rush away is because someone probably spotted a narc.
Unless, of course, the cops planted the meth and are making the whole thing up because they just don't like James or Stacey. I wouldn't rule that out. I do agree that James is making progress, but Napa cops have long memories. "
