In the last 25 years of my life, I've seen numerous examples of, well, let's call it "inventive police work." To be fair, there has also been a larger pile of "inventive" alibis, and other sorts of excuses, concerning criminal conduct. I have no experience at all in detecting or spotting an intelligence operation. So please forgive me if I have a bias in favoring a more familiar (to me) sort of explanation.
