Consider this situation (numbers fictional):

1. It costs 10 dollars an hour to keep a cop on active duty.

2. You need 10 cops to handle a specific region based on the fact that you receive 10 incidents a day.

3. You now get an additional 2 fake incidents a day but you don't know which of the 12 incidents are fake.

4. You therefore need cops to check out these incidents. You must hire them.

5. Your cost of operation goes up.

Lesson #1: There ain't no such thing as a free lunch.
