>"we have enough money to catch polluters or murderers, which do you prefer?" If the rest of law enforcement is any indication then this should work out quite well and align the enforcers with what people actually want. Look at poor city police departments. This is basically what they do. They prioritize the crimes that get their bosses yelled at by the politicians. It certainly isn't great for the officers who have to work in it but it's a great way to ensure resource allocation at least kinda sorta reflects the will of the people. The FBI and EPA have no shortage of "you spent your resources doing what?" themed missteps. There needs to be some way to get them to do what people actually want them to do.
