  No, he hasn't been arrested or accused of anything.

  Police investigate lots of innocent people. If they only investigated people who were already known to be guilty, they would never get anywhere.

    Police are supposed to investigate crimes. Not arbitrary people.

      They're investigating lots of crimes. Drug smuggling, for example -- they know it's happening, but they don't know who is doing it; and anyone entering the country could have useful information about it or be a potential suspect.

        So would you be OK with the police randomly picking members of the public to investigate - just in case those people are doing something illegal somewhere?
