Thanks for making the distinction. I was going to go back through all
my old citations and ask my agency where my cut was! ;)

I'd like to make one minor clarification: I said "they will arrest and
prosecute
him, because they get paid a commission from state and federal law
enforcement
grants for each and every arrest that sticks; so do the courts,
judges, lawyers
etc. The criminal justice system is a big, big industry in the good
'ole USA." I
did not mean to imply that it is the individual cops who get a
monetary reward
for arrests that stick, it is the department they work for that
applies for and
collects the grant money. Courts collect court costs, lawyers collect
fees and
judges collect salaries
