A lot of times in Media, Television, Movies, Games etc. you’ll see this leader of a huge crime organization where its shown that the government or law enforcement of that universe obviously know that they’re involved in illegal activity, but they “don’t have enough evidence to put them in jail” This is where my question comes in, what stops this government from just doing it anyway? If they obviously know they’re evil than why can’t they just stop them anyway, Its not like keeping them out of jail will be MORE helpful for the world?

Because if the government could just jail anyone they deem “evil” it becomes a slippery slope. Because all it takes is one person to define someone they don’t like as being evil (dissidents, opponents, etc). Evil is a subjective thing. Think about how half of the country is treating women’s reproductive rights. You’ll see why you don’t want to give that much power to the government.
