Well..... That's kinda crazy. I feel like a lot of investigations take longer than three years. Hell there's places in the US that have like a decades worth of rape kits police are ignoring.
It's almost like it's by design
Do they want vigilantism?
yes. are there any people not docile enough to pursue vigilantism anywhere but on Facebook or Instagram? nope.
Except if the crime was done against the rich/powerful, then it all gets done in 3 years or much less, including the media outcry and even finding a scapegoat if need be.
The system is designed to not waste resources on non-rich vs non-rich crimes whilst also providing an additional option for when the rich are the perpetrators (in case it gets that far).
