adding time isn't about planning that far ahead, it raises scrutiny and the possibility that other organizations now have jurisdiction over your case. organizations that have more funding and manpower. it's the difference between nypd keeping the case in house without even involving state police, or getting the fbi, atf, dhs and even irs involved. it means you're not looking at 5 street cops and 2 detectives handling your case and all forensics, but multiple state precinct, 500 feds, private forensics and 2 more years of investigation.
