Actually, he might well be an investigator. Me, I investigate lots of things (many having do with persons of the opposite gender <g>). If I pay taxes to New Jersey and investigate the beauty of women walking on the streets of New Jersey City, is it untruthful to say I am an investigator associated with New Jersey? Misleading, but untruthful? (Rule: you must judge the difference by the standard set by our attorney-President!)

By claiming to be an investigator, is it possible that a person could be trying to "trade" (crebility speaking, of course) off his position of "authority". That really would be a dastardly deed, wouldn't? As people have posted, there are gullible people in this world. If a person is not an investigator, and portrays himself to be one, would that be breaking any laws?? I think law enforcement has different rules than the rest of us. You know..pretending to be one when you're not, and all that jazz. I really am learning a lot from everyone here, I think it's great that people are able to answer these important and difficult questions with such conviction. What would we ever do without all of you??
