[QUOTE="GDJMSP, post: 2960989, member: 112"]Why wasn't this artist arrested for making multiple counterfeit U.S. cents? There are many people who break the law, we have a member here on the forum who does so on a regular basis. The authorities know it, and they are not prosecuted for doing so. Why not ? Simple answer, because the authorities simply choose not to prosecute them. And now you probably want to know why they do that. There can be any number of reasons, sometimes it's because they'll say something like - we have bigger fish to fry. Other times it might not be worth the expense of prosecution, and yes prosecutors have a budget they have to stay within just like everybody else. Other times they may say we won't prosecute because it will be a difficult case to win. We know he's guilty, we know we will win eventually, but it's just not worth the trouble. That's the way our system works, and not just with crimes like counterfeiting, but with a lot of crimes.[/QUOTE]
