Police don't take anything seriously unless it's to protect each other from legal consequences and or how they retailate to people hurting their feelings.

Someone just needs to steal John Key's (or insert wealthy politico of choice) nephew's pokemon cards. Then the popo will take it seriously

They're already a scam

People spending money on the most stupid, pointless bloody shit

I don't disagree, but I've got to argue that it's their own money and they should be allowed to spend it on that. It's no different than spending $90k on a ford ranger. People waste money all the time, but if it makes them happy then who are we to judge.

The Pokemon cards would almost certainly hold their value better, especially considering how reliable modern Ford vehicles are.
