There will be no bad guys walking away...without being able to violate the rights of cell phone users, the FBI might have to undertake the serious work of police work to catch the criminals...
I see very little effort on the part of the FBI or police to protect private citizens from crime.
Ever been robbed? It would be an improvement over the current situation if your case went to the bottom of the list. As things are now, your case does not even get on the list. The job of the police is to write reports and to raise revenue by ticketing normal citizens for minor offenses.
If you are famous, your case might get some attention. If you are black and attacked by a white person, your case might get some attention. If you are a pretty young girl who is murdered your case might get some attention. Otherwise, it’s too much of a bother.
I am seriously questioning the value of a police force as it now stands. The few things I appreciate about the police are: directing traffic when there is a power outage or similar situation, other traffic management work. I’m sure there are a few others, but I can’t think of any off the top of my head.
I don’t hate the police (several cops in the family) but I question whether they are worth the high cost of my tax dollars for the low level of benefit they provide.
