World-travelling country boy from the Appalachian foothills. I'm as comfortable digging ditches as I am rubbing elbows with foreign diplomats. Both can be satisfying and both can get you dirty, all at the same time.
I don’t know about that. You sound knowledgeable in police work. My contact point has been jury duty and studying body language in interrogations. I was on a jury a couple of years ago, for example, where it sems the Sheriff’s Department didn’t do the work necessary to convict the guy. There was a pistol outside the accused’s alleged car. First, they couldn’t prove the accused was in the car. Second, they didn’t even fingerprint the firearm. If they could have found the accused’s fingerprints on the firearm, they would have had a case. It seems easy enough. Without linking the weapon beyond a reasonable doubt to the accused, we couldn’t convict. The process work was what was needed, but the high-speed chase and finding him in bed “sleeping” (and sweaty, and out of breath) when he hadn’t been observed fleeing from the vehicle was also needed to establish some evidence that he could have been driving during the chase. So the action happens, but forensics are often necessary in real police work.
