I think you’re mistaking “investigation” with “prosecution” or something else. The cops can investigate literally anyone. You can hire a PI to investigate anyone.

There are limits however on what investigative actions can be legally taken by cops based on the evidence they have. Even with no evidence, they can still do things like interview people who know the POI, even follow them around in public. They can’t, for example, detain them and beat a confession out of them, or search their house willy nilly.

Haven’t seen a half-decent shower thought in a long time. Time to unsubscribe.

Huh, that’s certainly a take. Personally, I have never ever enjoyed conversing with a grifter, fraudster, or liar. The aftertaste is always disgust and disdain.

For the people that want an earful of BS, lucky for them AI is now available at their fingertips 24/7.

Well put. Judge nations by their actions.

This contextual nuance is mostly lost or went over the heads of young learners today, for better or for worse. I like to think that’s why “they” was word of the year for a few dictionaries in the last decade or two, for the benefit of young and old alike.
