I've also never understood the need to do this at their homes in the middle of the night, just watch them, confirm it's them and nab them when they are leaving their house or when they get to work or wherever. Not cozied up in their familiar environment where they probably have weapons, that the police aren't familiar with.

Study their habits and grab them when they exit the house.

What? You mean do 'actual police work'? GTFOOH

I've repossessed a few cars in my lifetime.

Basically this. Just watch for when they leave home then nab the target as soon as it's clear.

Uh, it is considered a criminal failure?

If the police were smart, they'd set up aline, and charge people $5.00 a person to hug luigi. You know the line would be miles long.

They learned they can continue to get away with murder

I don't like cops but that's not true. It will be once you shoot at them though.

Many people have but I've never heard of one surviving.
