Have you forgotten that law enforcement agents don't give a fuck about the cost of incarceration because they are paid with stolen tax dollars? Have you forgotten that jails have ~%80 people arrested for personal use possession amounts of drugs and ~20% arrested for distribution offences? Seriously it amazes me that nobody gave me the memo that personal use of all drugs has been legalized in the USA, stupid me thought it was still against the law but obviously I just didn't get the "Member of silk road" memo that all drugs have been entirely decriminalized for personal use. Fuck I guess I should go through my spam filter, did you get the memo via E-mail? Yes law enforcement have limited resources. That is why they use intelligence to narrow in on the areas in which they should focus. According to your (completely retarded) theory, law enforcement wont do these "advanced" attacks because they require "too many resources" (a laptop computer, information that is already being logged and stored for analysis), and instead will do, I assume, more basic attacks (like randomly profile mail?). However, a non retarded person will quickly realize that if law enforcement waste their resources primarily focusing on things with low return (like random mail profiling) they will have less arrests than if they use intelligence to know where to focus their resources (automatically flagging boxes that fit a profile of drug trafficking, determining boxes that fit this profile based off of mail traffic analysis, for example). Now they can focus on packages to these boxes and lo and behold their interception rates are going to significantly rise! Wow, they spent resources in a smart way and got a big return, instead of spending resources in a retarded way (your way) and getting a shit return. God damn ! There is nothing random about narrowing in on evidence via intelligence, in fact it is pretty much standard procedure. Good luck learning the difference between evidence and intelligence, I know it is a hard distinction for simple minded people to grasp but keep at it maybe one day it will click for you. Here is a hint, intelligence narrows in on evidence so limited resources can be focused on areas where they get a high return, rather than applied randomly and getting shit returns. Intelligence is not evidence. here let me refresh your memory for you:
