Yup, we’ve had RoboCop, Maniac Cop, WolfCop, and now we have Cannibal Cop. And even more extraordinarily, it’s based on a true story. I guess doughnuts really weren’t enough for this officer of the law.

HBO has a documentary on the so called called Cannibal Cop, who was convicted for conspiracy, a so called "thought crime". He never really acted out on the underlying criminal act in question, and it's difficult to say if he conclusively took a substantial step in furtherance of the crime with someone else. Though, much of the evidence that did stack instead him included chats and search queries from Google.
I always thought that the crime of conspiracy was ahead of its time, but I really don't know how it fits in today's context where everything can be tracked. Not that conspiracy shouldn't exist, but that the world has finally caught up to the law.
