My point isn't that SF police are doing what they're supposed to, it's that this problem is systemic. It's not just the police that are fucking this up, it's not just fire making comments of pure idiocy about how appropriate it is to test for date rape drugs, it's a problem that city government, police, fire, and health services are all contributing to when they refuse to test a patient who's clearly been drugged. They have their tiny bit of hope for deniability ("date rape drugs aren't commonly used in crimes here" and "what can you do when the test isn't called for?" kinds of garbage) that every person should recognize as dangerous to all of society.

MY point is that the SF police are pretty useless and I doubt that they care enough to have that conversation about revenue. That would be corrupt police work and they don't do police work, as a rule.

But I hear your point. Mine wasn't meant as an argument against it as much as an extra layer of cynicism on top of it.

The cynicism is so valid in examples like this. Haha a few years ago, I would've assumed that police didn't want the "extra" work of having to process the assault; now, there are so many other options available for them to not do work!
