Used to know a guy who was ex-Secret Service (forgery/wire fraud). He once told me that there's no middle class in crime.

Criminals are either stupid or brilliant. The stupid just kinda fall into law enforcement hands for doing something.....stupid.

The brilliant get caught because the more often they do whatever crime they're up to, the more likely they are to do something stupid.

With the brilliant ones it's probably complacency. They where all too careful usually but one day said fuck it in all my expierence this or that hasn't been a problem so why worry about it.

We have the same fallacy as officers. I have probably popped open hundreds of state issue dental floss containers only twice have I found contraband. But that was the difference between me and other officers I never quit looking just cause they chances where abysmally low. When I was a rookie I had a phase where I quit looking for contraband because I could never find any but I got over that.

And honestly if I found out a inmate outsmarted me to me it was fair play. You outsmarted me so whatever. I had no mercy on ones that tried and failed though.
