I think they call it 'policework'. It's what everyone on here tells the police to do instead of spying on everyone's phone calls and e-mails.

Sometimes. I the Russians involved obviously listed 'Security at Zork Industries' on their visa applications, so police knew they were a GRU. Otherwise, how would police know? It's one of those ironies where allegations against people involved an element of spying, but spying is bad.
