I feel that the problem is that they're reviewed after an arrest is made. Why spend all the resources and waste time to then review it after?

I mean, it makes sense in a case where the system isn't being abused, because you don't want someone to slip out of the country while you're messing around. In that situation, better to inconvenience a few people for a short period than to let suspects escape.
