If you are asking a best cop, what can they do? Legos shoplifted from Target were being openly sold at a thrift stall in Seattle’s Pike Place Market, everyone knew they were stolen, but until there was someone to formally connect the dots (they noticed legos from their store stolen at the thrift shop), the cops really couldn’t do anything about it.
- hcknwscommenter 2y agoSeriously? Cops really can't do anything unless all the evidence is gathered by citizens and then handed to them?
- seanmcdirmid 2y agoThey have detectives and can go do stings and such. But a beat cop, no, not really.
- themacguffinman 2y agoIt's possible for a beat cop to hand off a complicated case to detectives in their police department. I realize this kind of collaboration requires the police to give a shit, but it is possible.
