    Question What requirements do detectives have to start a investigation

    What do detectives need to start a investigation on people I'm 28 have never been arrested or even in trouble with the law. Now I find out I've been followed video taped and investigated with no evidence or resonable cause isnt their some requirements for a investigation to be started or can they pretty much stalk whoever they want till they find them doing something wrong???

    You expect an answer to a question as vague as that? And you have no idea why they're doing this? I bet you do....

    Was it the FBI?

    I think they are mandated to watch everyone in the country.

    If you're in a public place, you have no expectation of privacy, and can be followed/investigated for any reason.

    Also, how do you know that this is happening, and how do you know it's the police instead of a private investigator? Seems they're not too good at their job if you know what they're doing.

    They've got us surrounded? Good. Now we can fire in any direction, those bastards wont get away this time

    An amateur will train until they get it right. A professional will train until they can't get it wrong.

    Being video taped, huh? Sounds more like a private investigator, have you cheated on anyone, or ripped off an insurance company somehow?

    Do you seriously think criminal investigators have enough time on their hands where they follow innocent people around all day just looking for a reason to arrest/stop? I'm in agreement with the others on this one. Keep in mind like Chespod advised if you're in a public place, there's no expectation of privacy, but I would love to hear their side of the story.
