Low hanging fruit sometimes gets picked, but the agencies have more interest in keeping their backdoors secret for when they're REALLY useful, rather than in applying them every time they could possibly be applied.
And yes many people have got by without getting caught for their crimes, in part because they had the monitoring tech but not the AI yet to sift through it all. that is changing. within ten years I expect there will be AI crawling backlogs of surveilance data for even local police departments- recent reports tell of PALANTIR techs counseling local LEO on "Predictive Policing" and using AI for threat detection. it is happening, the future is now.

Stonecutters! I totally forgot what it was called but had a faint memory of secret societies in that cartoon. yes it's them. even in The League of Extraordinary Gentlemen comic, the masons are the enemy. illuminati eye on TIA programs is no coincidence.

>parallel construction, civil asset forfeiture
Fusion Centers let them know where to look
Civil Asset Forfeiture accounts for an absurd amount of police revenue. they don't even need to indict the person for anything, they indict the stack of cash for suspicious behavior. LOL, its so fucked up I'm surprised there hasn't been more widespread outrage about it.
