We have more crime although I agree the stupid drug laws contribute
to that number in a great way, particularly in the federal system.
You like to talk about various" X/industrial complexes" but the
DEA/industrial complex is one of the worst.
They are fueled with massive budgets plus all the personal property
they can take in forfeitures and seizures.
Most of the privacy concerns we have with NSA are trivial compared to
what the DEA does to "targets", guilty or not.

We have more crimes, and therefore we have more crime, I think, would be
a more apt way of putting it.
