Arresting theft suspects based purely on resemblance to thieves

[Boojatta]

There are plenty of cases of mistaken identity, so such arrests might not only detain the innocent, but also facilitate wrongful convictions. Wouldn't it make more sense to place a suspect under secret observation to observe spending patterns?

Is there a significant number of criminals who steal significant sums of money, permanently stop stealing, and don't spend any stolen money until years after they have stopped stealing?

1. Sure. Then they get an office in the White House and all bets are off. n/t
