If those responsible were properly punished and made to pay for the money wasted responding to their hoaxes maybe this wouldn't be a problem. Instead lazy inefficient prosecutors make plea deals for reelection and bleeding heart judges release the criminal with a stern warning not to do it again. Time to enforce laws and quit ignoring them. This is the whole problem in a nutshell.
Just because FBI isn't engaging it, does NOT mean they aren't keeping track of it, generally. Once it DOES get categorized, you can best believe there will be an immediate rash of arrests. With little warning.
This is what happens when people know they are less likley to be held accountable. The system should have been heavily fining and issueing jail time for repeat offenders of this a long time ago. Back when it was easily trackable.
Important to note that the only reason this is a thing is because people expect cops to show up and start shooting. It’s how much violence we expect from the police that is the reason they do this
" Categorized Crime " sounds like it just needs to be added to some list of the kinds of crime they do track You think they would have added it by now It's been around long enough
