If I was to go into the local police station and there was an active investigation against me and I ask about this, would they tell me? Why or why not?

The police are not obligated to release any information about an active investigation to you.
In most cases, it is best not to advise the person until their investigation is nearing completion.The more information you have before you interview someone, the better. |

Will the police tell you of an active investigation? No
Why or why not? To avoid compromising the investigation.
Imagine what would happen if the police were to tell you.
You) Are you investigating me?
Police) Yes, your neighbor Mrs Brown saw you stuff a body in the dumpster.
You) Does Mrs Brown have any evidence?
Police) Yes she has a video tape of you doing this. It's in her VCR right now. She went to church tonight, but on Monday she will bring it right over.
You) did you get a search warrant for my dumpster?
Police) we don't need a search warrant for the dumpster, but tomorrow our crime scene guy is going to stop by and pick up the evidence.
You) oh OK, have a good night
Police) oh OK, see you later when we send the SWAT team over to arrest you, probably on Monday morning, good bye. |

Much Much safer to have an attorney do it for you, they can't play little detective games and trick you into admitting some crime or another that way. They do that, you know? |
