If Illinois is loosing $8 billion dollars annually - how can they keep doing 2 week "John Day" stings, and keep those prisons so full?
@cfpdx they might make a net profit on the stings from criminal penalties + asset seizures? sure sounds like it in their press releases.

@aspasia_project I don't think it's possible if they calculate the manpower for the stings, and all the p/w associated w each case.
-
@cfpdx yeah. might still be a govt net rev increase if sting resources strictly reallocated from less-lucrative police work? but point taken -
@aspasia_project I don't know how stings can be justified, except in the rarest of circumstances.
-
@cfpdx oh! not trying to justify, sorry for that impression. "we screwed people to increase revenue" not a justification unless you're awful
