I think you deal with criminals by dealing with criminals.
Not by harassing people who are doing nothing wrong.
Fact is that going after Martin did nothing to deal with any crime. It just added conflict.
You are arguing against a straw man. I’ve not said don’t try to deal with crime. I’ve said that a person who isn’t doing anything wrong shouldn’t be subject to your investigation.
Are you sure Martin was doing nothing wrong? He reacted quite strongly to a fairly minor provocation.
