Yes, I’m sure that has a lot to do with it. damookster Send a noteboard - 01/07/2020 03:52:15 AM

I suspect it's because the Law Enforcement agencies don't want to waste time and resources finding the true perps, so by and large, they go after the "Low Hanging Fruit" because it's easier...


The police are judged on how many cases they close. Prosecutors on their conviction rate. Confessions are their holy grail.
