Traffickers themselves are not brokers in a hierarchical clientelist relationship between politicians and favela residents. Clearly traffickers can violently force out other favela leaders. Nevertheless, many politicians need the support of the traffickers in order to secure access to a favela's votes. This was especially apparent during a flood when residents from the poorest section of the favela refused to evacuate for fear of thieves. Only through collusion between traffickers and civic leaders can community groups make effective arrangements to guarantee politicians access to a favela. These police occasionally come into the favela, arrest traffickers, and then release them in exchange for a ransom. This illustrates flexibility in network connections and also suggests that criminals can gain control of resources destined to help favela residents. Traffickers simply act to guarantee access and, in turn, benefit most directly from the politicians contributions to the favela. As we saw with the very different relations that politicians and traffickers had with favela residents, networks enable groups to build up different types of linkages between actors. Groups danced until dawn, residents drank in the streets, and for the first time in a long while the favela relaxed.
