Not really, no, why do we think the legal system is the solution to every problem. Besides the fact are they even doing all that good a job at this?
Huh? In my city, shoplifters can walk out with 70 inch TVs while the police watch them do it (shop lifting is decriminalized). Everyone who isn't a shoplifter is pretty pissed off about it, I think the police are there to prevent mob justice from happening.
it's a sad state of affairs when the shoplifters make more than loss prevention.
