Thing is that North America police have painted themselves into a corner with how they treat people and how the system works. Nobody interacts with cops by choice, and the people tangentially involved in the criminal world, the most likely ones to give up information, don’t often do so voluntarily anymore.
So, you’re starting to see the impacts of this on their job performance.
Trust for cops is at an all time low so nobody offers up help anymore.

Not just cops, judges too!
Some guy took pictures of an elderly couple's hibiscus plants and showed it to the police. And somehow, the police failed to recognize it wasn't cannabis, despite supposedly being trained to recognize cannabis.
So they went to a judge to get a warrant. And somehow, the judge saw photographs of a hibiscus plant and decided to grant a warrant for cannabis (WTF???).
So they raided the house and it somehow took the cops 4.5 hours to figure out that the plants they were staring at wasn't pot. And somehow, the cops seized the plants anyway, despite filing no charges.
What kind of clown show are they running in that city where NOBODY in that entire chain-of-command could tell the difference between pot and flowers?????
