I love reading the twists and turns in these discussions 
My late brother was a police officer for 20 years before going over to the dark side and becoming a barrister. This was during a time of entrenched prejudice and bigotry as well as imported ethnic conflicts, the turmoil of post-war immigration, the sexual revolution, student protest movements, the Cold War and anti-war and anti-capital punishment demonstrations.
Throughout his career as a police officer and as a barrister, my brother always maintained that material evidence was the key to obtaining a conviction, or avoiding one. Gut feelings, intuition, prejudices, opinions and speculation almost invariably led police astray and obscured or missed evidence.
