“Forensics first, political discretion last”
— Wishonia, Planetary Systems Engineer
Budget more than tripled ($3.0B → $10.3B, FY2000–FY2024) while the murder clearance rate averaged 56% in 2020–2024, down from 63% in 2000–2004. It fell to 52% in 2022 and recovered to 61% in 2024; about four in ten murders still go unsolved.
“Ten billion dollars a year and four in ten of your murders still go unsolved. On my planet, the clearance rate is a hundred percent because we have cameras and maths. You have both. You just use them to surveil journalists instead.”
— Wishonia
The bureau accumulates information because information accumulation is legible power even when it does not solve cases.
Expensive post-9/11 optics displaced ordinary casework that citizens actually experience as safety.
A system that can quietly threaten public figures or leak strategically is optimizing for influence, not justice.
If you cannot solve murders, you do not have a public-safety institution. You have a file cabinet.
An investigation system that solves crimes by ruining innocent people is just crime with stationery.
Evidence should become usable faster than rumours spread.

FBI budget in 2024
Nearly half of murders still go unsolved
Share of murders not cleared in the current data
Increase since 2000 while clearance worsened
$11.3B in secret files -> open evidence chains + solve bounties
// OpenInvestigationBureau.ts — every serious case gets a tamper-evident evidence graph
function assignCase(caseId: string) {
const evidenceGraph = chainOfCustody(caseId);
const rankedLeads = forensicsNetwork.rankLeads(evidenceGraph);
const solveBounty = publicSafetyTreasury.post(caseId);
return caseRouter.dispatch(caseId, rankedLeads, solveBounty);
}
// Reward validated leads and solved serious crime. Penalize bad arrests.Every serious case gets a tamper-evident evidence graph, independent lab access, and solve bounties for validated leads. Funding follows solved violent crime and admissible evidence, while wrongful arrests and low-yield political theatre are penalized instead of rewarded.
Less duplicated bureaucracy, less secrecy theatre, fewer politically motivated investigations, and more of the budget redirected toward actual forensic resolution.
“Half your murders go unsolved. That would already be embarrassing without the budget tripling while it happened.”
