So we know that Federal (and State) law enforcement spends resources following up very tenuous leads.

Approximately 18 years ago I had 4 local police show up at my front door at 11:00 PM because my roommate had broken up with a girl and she told her parents that I posted her phone number on a Prodigy message board. I didn't do it and have never even had a Prodigy account.

I also barely knew the girl and she was only doing it to get back at my roommate through me.

I was in bed when they knocked on the door, I went downstairs and didn't let them in. They threatened everything short of killing me, I told them I had no idea what they were talking about. They then grilled my roommate outside for about 20 minutes. Dumbest situation I've ever been involved in.

So yeah, local cops have way to much time on their hands.
