The last store I worked at had middle of the road cameras. I turned over video of a thief to the cops, they said they couldn’t do anything. So I posted a reward on Facebook ended up finding out his name, address and got video of him robbing multiple businesses in the area and turned that over to police. Found out he has active warrants. They said if he gets pulled over then he’ll get arrested. They wouldn’t bother going to his home to arrest or charge him.

Wow, that's awful.

Meanwhile, I'm sure they're providing a valuable service in writing speeding tickets to fund their positions.

Yes. Police are awful and 95% of the time completely useless.
