      more importantly cops don’t actually give a shit about solving crime.

      In England the police primarily exist to keep noise down in middle class areas. I assume it’s even worse in America

        That is their primary purpose here too but it just requires more violence and subjection, Americans are extra noisy.

        No, I’ve been in this situation as a victim. My bike was stolen and they said it would take hours to search the CCTV. I told them about binary search, they didn’t understand.

        Yeah, seriously. What is even the context of this? We have no idea. The cops might have been like “We need a warrant to look at that footage you idiot.”
