You argue with someone and police makes a visit. Searches your criminal history and sees one line "investigated for murder". Guess what might happen. Nothing right? Because we live in a perfect world.

> "investigated for murder"

Seriously overestimating the willingness of police to give a shit about what are clearly _really old_ remains.

The CYA part about talking to authorities (whoever applicable in your jurisdiction, not necessarily police) still applies. There are often laws about human remains. THOSE would show on your record if this is mishandled.

That's not even remotely close to how police records work in the US. It fits the narrative, but is completely ignorant of reality.

Not everyone lives in USA.
