According to a financial disclosure statement prepared by Mr. Trump's accountants, he was under audit by the tax authorities as of 1993, only a year after he avoided reporting hundreds of millions of dollars in taxable income because of this legally suspect tactic.
Toronto criminal defence lawyer Daniel Brown said police may sometimes delay an arrest while bolstering a case against a suspect, though that tactic doesn't explain the lengthy delay in Allen's case.
Agents eventually installed surveillance equipment in a suspect's office, but that tactic was "risky," the official said, and the delay "prevented the interception of pertinent communications".
In 1931, a White House commission warned that the "third degree" — methods that "inflict suffering, physical or mental, upon a person in order to obtain information about a crime" — was "thoroughly at home in Chicago"; one preferred tactic involved beating a suspect in the head with a phone book, since it could "stun a man without leaving a mark".
