FAQs

What investigative technique is described here?

A pretext-based apprehension and identification method: use found ‘ownerless’ valuables to draw out claimants/suspects and detain them, and flag suspects by spending patterns inconsistent with income.

What is the underlying governance logic?

Treat unexplained wealth and abnormal consumption as actionable indicators for inquiry, protecting state order and property rights.
