What I have found working with LE is thus: there is a small amount of the population who commit 99% of the crime. These people don't care about fines, jail, court cases, criminal records etc. as it only enhances their prestige amongst the community they live in. So they continue their lives of crime as that other stuff is for people who care. The people who care and will pay their debts however are busted with DUIs, small drug posession charges, fines for irreverent behaviour and otherwise nickel and dimed to death for minor but, lucrative crimes. THESE are the people the Police seem to targeting most. And this is why people are annoyed and want the true criminals to be held to account or hanged as soon as possible.
