> Because the car left the State, Sawyer had little recourse. “The cop says, ‘Well, the car’s out of State, contact the FBI.’ And I tried to contact the FBI, but they weren’t interested,” he tells me.
I dont understand this part of the story. So if somene steals a car and drives it out of state only FBI can search for it and they dont???
Doesnt this mean legalization of crime?
If it works on the car, will it work on other things too, that they just look the other way?
If you know where it ended up, you can probably get State resources activated over there too. But if you need law enforcement to investigate an interstate case, you pretty much need the FBI.
The FBI does not investigate all reported crimes, and neither do state and local law enforcement, so yeah... if you do crime that nobody wants to investigate, you can get away with it; at least until those meddling kids show up.
