You look at the the AST, they list 94% of what they do is alcohol related.  The small city of Fairbanks has over 60 officers and it costs them .50 a gallon to deal with alcohol related issues, but they only collect .05 a gallon.  And then trying to get the DA's office to prosecute theft crimes is joke.  They are too busy taking care of alcohol related issues.  It's just maddening.
