I doubt that they'd prefer to investigate actual crimes. People are paid for doing work. The fact that they did work is measured i.e. by the number of cases 'solved'. Would you rather get paid more ('solve' many cases) or less (go for difficult do solve actual cases)? People have to sustain their families etc. A friend of mine summed it up pretty good. " 'Police' don't catch people they should catch, they catch those they _can_ catch."
