When scams are that endemic, that shows a failure of law enforcement. My PD has hundreds of traffic cops but not even a handful on internet scams and exactly one doing 'to catch a predator' type stings.

- fshbbdssbbgdd 5y agoI wonder if somebody became a police officer with the sole intent of cracking down on this type of crime, would be even be allowed to work on it?
- AlbertCory 5y agoI think you just follow orders as a cop, but then, I've never been one. I would think that after you've built up a good reputation on the force (which might take years), you could volunteer for financial crimes. But whether that works or not, I have no idea.
