Why are some criminals so... dumb?

[Dominus]

While drinking my morning coffee I like to read the news. Found this gem.

https://www.wane.com/news/man-busted-for-marijuana-dealing-against-backdrop-of-legalization-debate/amp/

Basically speaking. Gold Cadillac with no real license plate driven by driver with no DL at all (in other words, obviously drug dealer car) got pulled over. 36 ounces of Mary Jane was found.

I mean... why give cops a reason to pull you over if you are transporting? I'm not talking about being a criminal genius here. Just a little common sense.

Common sense tells me if I were transporting illegal stuff, it is best to blend in, act normal, don't give them any reason to pull me over, don't attract attention, etc.

Gold cadillac... that's already an attention getter. Then the guy has to be driving a shitload of MJ around with no license plate. That's definitely gonna get him pulled over. No valid license guarantees arrest, search, and impound. In other words, this operation of his was guaranteed to fail.

I remember once getting pulled over for speeding. I was in the outside lane with nothing in the middle lane.
The cop said I wouldn't have been stopped if I had been doing the same speed on the inside lane. I was just drawing attention to myself

You think this is bad, wait til I tell you whose funding this Mickey Mouse operation. Law enforcement is the one area where notoriously frugal "MAH TAX DAWLLERZ" 'Murricans will joyfully write police a blank check and say "Do what you want fellas, keep us safe if you would be so obliged, but, please, don't feel obligated." Every non-violent stop and minor infraction like this is one more incident ahead of domestic violence calls, robberies and sexual assault. ACTUAL crimes with ACTUAL victims. But Americans get so horny watching yt guys in uniforms bully people around that we don't care if we're trading in public safety.

I admitteddly didn't read the article, forgive the above rant if it turned out this guy had warrants across multiple states for robberies or some shit.

The entrance exam for thief is REALLY set to a low mark.

And there's likely no piss test.

Why are some cops do dumb? Many of them seem little better than thugs in uniform.

I always thought it was like the military, and other power professions. They attract too many men who covet physical power over others. And, the profession itself is very jading, so it doesn't surprise me when they get burned out, dealing with the dregs of society, and then criminals. Lawyers, I'm looking at you.

Then people are surprised by, or complain about, mass dismissals...
Everything about society is about hierarchy and power, one way or the other, even in vicarious mode.

The world can be run with/through very, very, very, very, very few people, all the rest are considered just cannon fodder for a disaster scenario, and political and religious fairytale ideologies about opportunity and salvation are devised to keep you away from that obvious fundamental truth by denouncing it as a mean lie.

I have said this for years to those who complain about being "picked on" for being young, or for being a known stoner, or have a "hippy" hair length (this from my best friend years ago). If you THINK you know why police may pay attention to you, don't do something to give them a reason the detain you. Is life fair? No. Not everyone is going to be caught and ticketed for speeding. I have broke the speed limit before that was fast enough that I should have gotten a ticket. In my decades of driving I've been be stopped for speeding. I guess I could go on and on here...but I won't.
