Well I guess it doesn't matter if code ships either. Work hard coding it, and if it gets thrown out and never used despite your hard work, that's the way it goes.

As for not making arrests, isn't that self reinforcing? Of course police will slow down arrests if the other end is not completing the process.

I find your view of this unusual and puzzling.

They get paid to do a job. I find your view that it's reasonable for them not to do a job because they would do somebody else's job differently utterly incomprehensible.

Well it's nice to know that organizations such as the Trump Presidential Campaign and Exxon-Mobil will never have any difficulty recruiting any task-bots, I mean, employees.

If I want to get paid for working for the Trump Presidential Campaign, I should do the work that is required. I don't want to work for the Trump Presidential Campaign, so I should not collect a paycheck from it.

If these people don't want to do policing, they should not collect a police officer salary.
