When you're willing to address matters of principle, let me know.
What principles? If you think the government shouldn't run operations like this, then how efficient they are doesn't fucking matter. If it caught 100,000, if you are against the idea in principle, it wouldn't matter because you'd still be against it. If you're against the idea because of efficiency on the other hand, the questions remain.
And on the other hand, if you wish to justify the abrogation of principles on the grounds that 137 creeps were caught, that's great.
Me, I think the government should abide by the laws they enforce. What do you have to say about that?
