If the investigator is aware that the subject is represented by a lawyer, what is the general practice?

To negotiate with the lawyer directly
To avoid any verbal contact or interaction with the subject
To proceed as normal without any changes
To only surveil the lawyer

The correct answer is: To avoid any verbal contact or interaction with the subject

When a subject is represented by a lawyer, the general practice for an investigator is to avoid any verbal contact or interaction with the subject. This is to ensure that any communication or interaction is done through the lawyer and to avoid any potential legal issues. Negotiating with the lawyer directly (option A) may not be allowed or permissible in certain cases. Proceeding as normal without any changes (option C) could lead to complications if the subject's lawyer is not informed or involved. Only surveilling the lawyer (option D) does not address the main concern of avoiding direct contact with the subject and further compromises the investigation.
