“We know he’s behind blah blah blah huge crime organization, but we don’t have the evidence to put him away, and as such will do nothing”

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?

Mostly because the real world doesn’t work like movies where there are good guys and bad guys and clear moral lines. I’d wager that most leaders of organized crime groups have stronger moral compasses than most agents investigating them.
