So normal cops catch people before they commit a crime?

They would be more likely to prevent a crime from happening. Great example is traffic cops, people are less inclined to speed or drive recklessly in the view of a cop. An undercover cop can't enstill that same effect.

Well I suppose that if a uniformed police officer can walk about in the underworld and watch cartels do drug deals and stuff then your theory would be correct.

If only there were more police then there would be less murders, Amirite? Perhaps every household should have one hmmm?

Didn't say anything like that. Not even comparable, honestly. But fine, since you're so adamant about undercover cops, what is so crucial about undercover cops? Why do we need them at all? What do undercover cops do that other police couldn't possibly do, other than a form of entrapment?

I really don't have the inclination to argue something that is as obvious as this. No offence Sk.

You were snarky out the gate so idk why you're saying no offense now. Also maybe this is an American thing, you probably have better police in NZ.

Right now, across the country, drug dealers, money counterfeiters, immigrant smugglers and hit men are talking to people who they believe are fellow criminals - but they're actually police. A uniformed officer would not be as effective in this job.

I am always worried that I might find one in my bed.

Nope, they're a good but dirty trick to really shake up crime
