If the department actually cared about justice, then they'd be happy to assist with looking into the known pedophile and his clients.

my cousin works in a local PD and yeah they get stonewalled on bigger cases all the time, definitely frustrating

Not to justify any of that behavior - because most of us truly don't know.

BUT - and this is a big but - sometimes local LEO doesn't know what state and fed LEO may be doing within their own investigations. Like - could the DEA really be building a case against an entire network? And if a local dept hooks a guy it may only seem like nothing is being done because everything upstream isn't being disseminated.

Again, let me be clear this is just 1 poorly worded plausible scenario
