From what I read about this, I figure that the problem lies right there. Alot of prosecuters and members of the police might get sloppy in doing what is actualy required from them so they can climb the careerlader through gaining popularity by bringing in career cases.
Yes they are, and it is a problem. Another issue is the citizenry themselves. Raised with a collective memory of days when justice was served by a posse with a rope. We have short attention spans and demand short sighted solutions. The industrial prison complex is a cash cow, too, and lends a red hand. The 'kids for cash' scandal that rocked my old stomping grounds in Pennsylvania is an example of multiple failures along these lines.
