Yes. Remember: About half of all murders in the United States are never solved. Only 52.3% are, to be exact:

The rape clearance rate is even worse: 26.1%. And If your vehicle is stolen you have less than 1 in 10 odds that whoever did it will actually be caught. Doesn't that just make you feel all warm and fuzzy?

Sadly nobody ever wants to fund any of it... It would be nice if we could send DNA evidence to somewhere that doesn't have a 20 month backlog for felonious convictions 5 states away.

Say you want more money for LEO Diversion programs or behind the scenes stuff all you want, nobody just wants to pay taxes cause the vast majority of everyone is too poor already with swaths of them who refuse to do the one thing they could to help, which is vote lol.

And yet. Try growing some weed or better yet, saw your rifle down to 15.95" instead of 16" and guess who suddenly has the time, manpower, and equipment to come kick in your door.
