Which of the following is not a requirement for a successful undercover investigation?
The correct answer is developing necessary evidence for prosecution. In an undercover investigation, the primary goal is to gather information and facts. It is not the responsibility of the undercover operative to develop this evidence specifically for prosecution purposes; that task is typically handled by other law enforcement personnel after the information has been gathered. The requirements for a successful undercover investigation include having a qualified investigator, a plausible cover story, an effective control scheme, and a reliable method to discontinue or abort the investigation, but not developing prosecution evidence.
Wrong, an undercover investigation is not there to find or develop evidence, it’s there to find facts regardless of if it’s evidence. You’re biased if you do an undercover investigation for evidence.
Because we can not develop evidence. It is about finding the evidence and putting it for prosecution.
