silly, silly criminals

This happened to a FBI office in WV. The bank was robbed 3 times before the Fed idiots finally caught them. Their officer was directly above the bank.
I always wonder about that. How many of them actually get away compared to the ones that get caught? I wonder what the ratio is.
Think about how many crimes are never reported...
The ultimate crime is the one where no one ever realizes a crime was committed.
Ah, it's nice to see the products of our public schools thanks to greedy politicians with only their own interests in mind. This is their fault. I'd blame the parents, but they were too stupid to fix the issue to begin with because of the same problem.
I was driving to school yesterday and some dumb guy whipped by me with 15 sheriff troopers on his ass. He robbed a convenience store and was making his getaway. The police/sheriff people IDed him and they had the license plate and all (after all, they were like 2 ft off of his butt and on his right side) but they called the chase off once he got into Madison.
I was sitting there at the red light, the last car in the line, watching the troopers and the car approaching. I was bracing for impact just in case. I had my foot clamped on the break pedal. Thank god the idiot went through the empty left turn lane and then cut back into the regular road.
Watching the sheriff guys try to get him to run over those coiled up metal tire poppers was fun! They almost got him but the guy who tossed it out didn't have enough time and he just couldn't get it out far enough.
It is a strange thing to see a guy literally 10 ft from your window to his window flying past. I don't know what he was thinking but sometimes I thank God, and I'm not even religious, that I'm not an idiot.

My parents have always taught me "If you're gonna do something, do it right". I suppose it applies here.
Also, how does one get a statistic on the number of crimes no one notices if..well...no one notices it?
Wrong. Not at all. It depends upon the crime, but clearance rates are highest among serious crimes. 90+% of all murders are cleared, 80% of rapes, 70% of robberies, etc. The crimes that are HARDEST to catch are white collar/public order/simple theft crimes. Those crimes have a lower clearance rate because a lot of time people don't even know a crime has occured. Actual crimes that are reported, normally have a very good clearance rate. The dark figure of crime is the actual TRUE crime rate. It takes in account crimes that were not reported or known to have existed. The only problem is that no one knows what that number is. We can only guess what certain rates are by using information from UCRs, the NCVS, and Self Reports surveys. Serious crimes are always going to have a high clearance rate. Namely, crimes against persons have the highest rate, and then property crimes.

90% can get away if you add in littering, speeding, and rolling stops at stop signs.
Number of times I was speeding 7 years ago:
approximately 400/year.
Number of times I rolled through a stop sign 7 years ago:
Probably about 300/year.
Number of times I sped and rolled through stop signs since then:
YAY 5th Amendment! (at least once, I got a ticket)
The big ones where someone is directly, and permemantly impacted. Are the ones that are the most sought after. Cars can be replaced and insurance billed. Graphitti can be painted over (in most cases). But a human life cannot be returned from the grave. That's why the penalties for violent crimes are so much higher than other types of crimes. Even if running Kazaa gets you a bill for $97.8 Billion.

That is why there is two different types of crime. I am trying to remember the name for both, but traffic tickets and the like have their own category.

No. Misdemeanor and Felonies are not the classification I am talking. It is not infractions either.
<--- off to look.
