Investigating individual complaints of fraud as they come in in the old-fashioned way.
To put it another way, just because terrorists could use unencrypted email to communicate doesn't mean we have to go and scan everyone's email for threats.
The logic is basically this: Terrorists now are communicating over encrypted p2p systems (or any new tech)! we need to backdoor encryption standards. Then! we will defeat the Terrorists (once and for all).
Crime works in a similar fashion. The police will never "solve crime" no matter how much power they have to invade your privacy. They will become great at catching criminals though.
Typical humans!
It's not like they let the money sit around in the branch. Once it appears they send in the street rat to pick it up and run. These scams aren't just two bit crooks, they were straight up organized crime. It is an industry, one of the most productive in some areas.
Good question.
I mean crime is going to happen right?
Evidence suggests so.
And the cops just trample all over your rights.
Indeed.
Why even bother having laws or society?
Agreed, especially considering that most of what passes for "law" these days is just statutory nonsense which has nothing to with the law[1] in the more general sense.
It just kills your freedom
Agreed.
