FWIW, I have never met an intelligent cop or detective. I have met some remarkably unintelligent cops and detectives.

It’s rather shocking that the next step in the criminal justice system requires 7 years of education and the ability to pass a bar exam, but police officers range from dolt to average in intelligence, and are often loosed on the streets with months of training.

This is no way to run a criminal justice system.
