    If you see a fruit fly in your kitchen, do you jump straight to calling the exterminator and moving out for a few days while they fumigate your place?

    Cops don’t break out their full suite of investigative tools on every single crime, and prosecutors need at least a few facts to hang their hat on if they’re going to overcharge you. Cops don’t even fingerprint on many burglaries in bigger cities. The greatest possible response is not the likely response.

      That depends on the crime. They barely treat rape as a crime - that’s why they barely investigate it. Start interfering with their precious surveillance state, though, and you might very quickly find yourself a much, much higher priority than the guy who murdered five sex workers last month.
