Law enforecment is doing their jobs.

They had no other choice.

If you think the law is pointless, okay. But it is the law, and the law enforcement people had to do this, especially with the publicity.

Unless they hired extra law enforcement to investigate this crime (I'm doubtful they did) then no taxpayer money was wasted.

Department resources can be allocated to more pressing crimes. So either they were bored, or there was a demand to pursue this. -- nm - Beryllium Feb 10, 11:29 1
