Criminal justice resources are stretched thin, and it's in no one's interest to throw out a dragnet and haul in a bunch of iffy cases.
That's a nice story. In reality, it takes more resources to solve hard cases, so they won't get solved. Instead, some random poor bastard will get charged and will plea out.
