crimes happen every day that are NOT caught

but burgalary?

you never hear about the crimes they stop lucy

short of fucking patrols on foot

they arent stopping jck shit

you ONLY hear about those they STOP

thats why you need some real life experience and stop watching stuff

and the police dont do patrols

u don't hear about the ones they MISS

police stop way more than is told

no one does

it just doesnt make a story

when the bad guy gets apprehended

the poolice exist

almost exclusively

if i kill u and dispose of your body, no one ever knows

we live in a society

as a mop up crew

and no one ever HEARS about it

they are contacted when a crime happens

ever heard of evidence buddy? @ManAnimal

but theyll only get there after the situation has been resolved

at least usually

you are naive

with the exception of things like bank robberies

and hostage taking

real cops don't have the resources on CSI

im pretty sure the FBI would be out of a job if evidence could be wiped

the police are more crime scene cleaners than crime preventers

to be fair

most serious crimes

like murder

the FBI is rarely involved unless it's their shit or if a criminal does it multiple times

cant be stopped

they occur on privte property between people tht know each other

yup

but things like burgalary

they will never stop

@Lucienne d'Anwyl if the existence of police prevented crimes ... well - crime exists alongside the police, so there you have it

or in the middle of the night to people that life away from home
