The cops couldn't find



a bright yellow sports car(Mustang?)stolen by a next door neighbor? Even when a cop questions them when they are sleeping in the car? Nobody reported it?

Yeah, that got me too. Why choose a car that attracts attention. Get a silver Ford Focus if you want to go incognito. Then, there are several scenes where the two killers just shoot and kill and get away slowly, not really caring if anybody saw them. They shot that Bill O'Reilly want to be on a jogging trail in the park. Even had a conversation with him before he died. I would've suspected more people be on the trail and some shooting footage with their phones.

Even though Frank changed the license plate on the car, the cop should have checked the VIN to verify the true owner.

Not mention that Chloe's parents have no police protection on the very day that their high profile daughter is cold bloodedly murered in broad daylight outside of her school. That place would have been like a fortress.

should have.. but didn't. He also got called away. He was on his radio and he just thought maybe that he was being nice and letting it slide. Not like he really had much to bust him on anyway aside from "sleeping on the side of the road". In retrospect had he arrested them it would have been a great get. But as it was, it sounded and looked harmless. I doubt most cops would have done much more than the one that did pull them over.

Movie doesn't take itself seriously, so you should just enjoy and suspend your belief, since apparently in real life it would went very different already after stealing car, he would end up in car chase already when shooting student, same goes for cinema shooting and I don't see how would cops wait so long time before start to shoot in superstar contest, so as I see it, it was a) all dream which would explain no cops around anywhere, b) it was not dream and director knows that police is not relly important for message of this movie about society, otherwise it would be very short movie and not enough space to show message if he would keep police real.
