> there has never been an uptick in arrests

If it was effective, would there have been a down tick in arrests at some point?

Or if the arrest rate stayed the same, would that suggest it never “worked” to begin with?

It’s like the movie trope of the detective who finds out the truth via some questionable means which isn’t admissible in court. When you know the truth you can push harder and call every bluff until you get admissible evidence.
