Sorry, poor choice of phrasing on my part. I meant to say that, *if* events 
transpired roughly as we heard, and if something illegal was done, then IMHO it 
probably reflects more poorly on the police than anybody else. 

Also, generally I'd expect professional private investigators to know more 
about the legal bounds than the police: they don't have qualified immunity or a 
separate investigative arm that figures out if they did something wrong 
separately from criminal charges. 

Thanks,
