Do you ever watch "Cops"? 50% of the show goes like this:

Cop (to camera): This car just pulled out of a hotel known for drug activity, I'm going to make a traffic stop.

Cop (to driver): So where are you headed tonight? You don't have anything illegal in the car do you?

Driver: No, nothing illegal.

Cop: So you don't mind if I look around?

Driver: Uh, no.

Cop: What's this $5 bag of crack doing here under the seat?

Busted.

Meanwhile, across town, some asshole steals my bike or charges $25000 on my credit card, no police available to investigate and no DA with the time to prosecute.
