    Yep. Clearance rates are very low, the police actually do not do a good job at solving crimes. Their real value is in deterrent, but that only works when you have someone in a parked car outside a building.

      The police don’t even attempt to solve crimes unless a lot of money was stolen from important people, or someone was murdered. All those TV shows and movies of the police performing amazing detective work to get to the bottom of a crime are bullshit. The police file a report, drop the file in the trash, and go to lunch.
