What type of client should investigators generally avoid due to potential biases?

Choosing clients who are labeled as crusaders can be problematic for investigators because these individuals often have strong, personal biases or agendas that can cloud their judgment and expectations from an investigation. Crusaders are typically individuals who passionately advocate for a cause or mission, which may lead them to interpret facts or results through a biased lens. This can create challenges for a private investigator, as it can compromise the objectivity required to conduct a fair and impartial investigation.

Investigators aim to provide unbiased and fact-based findings, and when a client is heavily invested in a specific outcome or has a preconceived notion about what the investigation should reveal, it can complicate the process. This type of client may pressure the investigator to skew their findings or lead them to prioritize certain information over others based solely on the client's agenda.

In contrast, clients seeking clarity, those with connections to law enforcement, or clients who possess legal expertise may enhance the investigation by providing useful information or guidance, without the intense bias seen in crusaders. As a result, while these other types of clients may present unique challenges, they do not inherently compromise the objectivity of the investigation the same way a crusader might.
