Experiences of people I know, together with footage broadcast on the
"reality TV" programmes where TV crews follow real police going about
their business, lead me to the conclusion they routinely practice
guilt by suspicion/guilt by association. If that approach fails to
find somebody the circumstantial evidence doesn't rule out, they will
switch to a genuine investigation if the matter is serious enough to
warrant the man-hours, or if it affects high-profile individuals.

No slur intended on any individual police personnel, just public
perception of the police forces' corporate approach. (And for the
record, I know many people who have formed a similar impression as
well as plenty who have formed a very different impression.)

Unfortunately, police sometimes influence the determination of guilt
by being selective in their presentation of information to the courts.
In the UK any withholding of evidence by the police has constituted
grounds for appeal since R v Fellows in July 1985.[1]
