We read in ARA a news article by Natalia Vila that explains that the Mossos d'Esquadra and the Guardia Urbana have set up a device "to catch""thieves and repeat offenders in Catalonia."It's called the Kanpai plan (someday we'll have to interview the mastermind behind the names of these police operations), which I believe is the word for "cheers," which is used for "toast" in Japanese. They identified 1,635 criminals, with a total of 4,023 criminal records. And in seven hours, I read, they identified and arrested "up to thirty people, with a total of 226 criminal records."
The fact that out of 1,635 identified, they arrested 30 makes me think that arresting them won't be easy. I'm sure the Mossos d'Esquadra and the Guardia Urbana would have taken them all away, since they all had diverse and varied criminal records. And that's why I'm wondering something about these thirty.
It's well known that while you're at the police station filing the report for your poor cell phone or your humble wallet, the petty thief is already on the street with new furtive challenges. He left before you. And that's why I'm wondering if it's not a matter of combinations. What if the Mossos d'Esquadra and the Guardia Urbana arrested individual M., who minutes later left the police station, as is traditional, and was caught again by the Mossos d'Esquadra and the Guardia Urbana and taken back to the police station, from where he left again, as is traditional, to be caught again...? And that's why I'd like to know if these thirty arrests over seven hours are different or the same, at a rate of a few per hour. Because it's a technique I don't think is bad at all. It's fine to release those accused if the law says so, but at least, please, let them have to do as much paperwork as the complainants.
