Eg. my neighbourhood routinely has people roaming around in the middle of the night checking for unlocked cars, stealing stuff, and sometimes doing drugs in people's yards. As far as I'm aware, the police do nothing about this and yet I often see cops on the highway trying to catch speeders. We should prioritize important stuff, not catching ordinary law-abiding citizens doing what virtually everyone does. This may be a problem of the courts, not the police, though.
