There's a white collar crime investigator who has a sign in his interrogation room: "If you're here, you're not as smart as you thought you were."

There's a white collar crime investigator who believes that everyone is guilty until proven how guilty.

That's pretty much how investigators work. Obviously you can't discount the fact that someone isn't guilty, but if you have got as far as to get them in front of you then you're onto something.

Just because I can't prove something to the criminal burden of proof doesn't mean that they didn't do it, it just means I can't get the job over the line.

Sounds like typical bullshit that you get in a profession where everyone kisses your ass because you can ruin their life on a whim even if they didn't do anything wrong.

I'm sure the boot-licking "everyone accused is probably guilty of something" crowd loves it.
