Yeah it's total BS. Electronic transfer is easy. They just refuse because there is no advantage for the police. Although, if I were the police, I'd refuse too and try the idiot PO box drop. The Terrorist won't fall for it, but the cops are trying to see if he is that stupid -- I doubt it.
They'll be lucky if he doesn't get pissed and kill someone else again tonight or tomorrow for screwing around with him and continuing to treat him like he's stupid.
I think his average is about 30 hours between shots. Tick tock tick tock...another victim. We can just hope the sniper makes a mistake or we get lucky. It's so easy to shoot people randomly in a very large area and get away with it.
