federal funds are never the answer
How much does it cost?
I would pay the money myself if this happened to me and they refused to do anything.
wouldn’t it be more logical and cheaper to extend that statute of limitations?
No amount of money is going to take care of the backlog.
One quick way to reduce the backlog is castration.
In other words, instead of the cops buying toys and games for their departments (Half-tracks, sound-blasters, SWAT gear, etc.) they need to use the funds for their victims. About time!
