Morituri:
Let me understand; you're saying that "honest" cops only engage in extortion for information?
Sure, that sounds legit. But that only makes me want to repeal the extortion laws if they're not going to be enforced.
osaka:
You know that you need actual proof of illegal conduct to arrest someone right?

No, you need "reasonable suspicion" to arrest them. Proof is only required for conviction.
The problems happen when officers interpret "reasonable suspicion" to include such things as "he just looked like the type, y'know" and "my boss told me the guy was a crook" and the courts interpret "proof" to include stuff like "well they must have arrested him for some reason" and "the newspapers said they were a bad'un" especially when the alleged crime is a capital one and you're in a executing state.
osaka:
Of course that is the problem. What I was saying is that even if you have reasonable suspicion of some of the acts Morituri mentioned, they're very hard to prove. Specially the prostitution example he's giving, because you don't know if the worker wasn't actually providing <insert service advertised here> and afterwards have sex because it's amazing or a similar reason.
Morituri:
Anyway, my point was that there is absolutely, positively NO WAY the cops don't know about the illegal fighting ring.
You can speculate all you want about why they're not making arrests. My speculation is that the police and/or judicial, as usual where there are laws that are not vigorously enforced, are engaging in extortion.
