44. What did law enforcement actually achieve?

The facts suggest the extreme house-to-house warrantless search achieved nothing. Once the police decided their lock down had failed., and graciously allowed people to leave their homes, only then did an alert citizen go out and find the fugitive in their backyard boat. In fact, the extreme police lock down actually kept the fugitive at large longer.
