Why are you supporting an inherently unfair process?

The process I described covers virtually every investigation you have ever encountered. It's as American as the proverbial apple pie and as fair as we can get it. Surely you can't be so daffy as to not recognize the long established paradigm.

Can you come up with any examples of investigations having been conducted were investigators contacted the targets before the investigators had their ducks lined up so the targets could destroy evidence and tamper with potential witnesses? Where they invited targets to come onto the investigators' turf with their own witnesses? In public, no less?

The things that you're complaining are missing from the investigation don't belong in an investigation, have never belonged in investigations. This is a category error of vast proportion. They are components of a trial. Trials occur after investigations are finished and there is a pending charge. Trials, unlike investigations, are public. There the accused has the ability to call witnesses and refute whatever charges the investigation produced. You're turning a long established paradigm on its ear and expecting the r.o.w. to recognize something alien.

This is so simple and so obvious that I feel like I'm having to argue that the sky is blue against an assertion that it is purple with green polka dots.
