Yup. Sadly there are people who work in law enforcement who are more
interested in "catching someone and locking them up" than "catching the
right person and ensuring they can't commit another crime". Good thing
that is the minority of cops.

Very true. Here in Salt Lake City, the evidence room in the public
safety building is subject to flooding. The office is far too small for
the number of people occupying it. They have problems with this (I
understand) on a fairly regular basis.
Good thing the bond measure was approved for them to build a new office
building. :-)
