I disagree. Had a cop found out about Tim McVeigh's truck and bomb before he blew up a building a lot of lives would have been saved. Had law enforcement known about September 11 before it happened and arrested the terrorists, a lot more lives would have been saved. Stopping crimes before they happen should be a goal of law enforcement if you ask me.
When we are able to provide the police with knowledge of criminally planned activities, that works.
