spooky shit, a paradox & numbers

[michael perelman]

Despite all the scary high tech stuff, why does the law enforcement
establishment do such a bad job in finding people.  The Unibomber's brother
turned him in; McVeigh got caught in a traffic stop.  They can't find Eric
Rudolph.

Instead, they merely get people to testify against others rather than doing
what we might think of as police work.

Am I off base here?
