When normal people find out what cops actually do, they are shocked.
They believe in such shows as CSI, where they go to incredible lengths to solve a crime.
When in reality, the police stop looking when they have "enough" evidence.
Wife was murdered, its usually the husband, he was there at the time. Book him, case closed. Now its the DAs responsibility.
50% of murders aren't even investigated. The biggest capital crime, univestigated, and we have cops pulling people over for speeding.
But then, that is what cops are really for. Revenue collection, in the name of social equilibrium.
That's why I refer to them as Revenue Officers and not Cops. Their primary directive is to make cash. If they repeatedly fail to do so they won't be cops for very long... no matter how much they swear up and down that there are no quotas.
