True or False: An investigator can automatically access all private information without consent.

The assertion that an investigator can automatically access all private information without consent is false. Investigators are bound by various privacy laws and ethical guidelines that govern the collection and use of personal information. Accessing private information typically requires consent from the individual involved unless specific legal circumstances dictate otherwise. Regulations like the Fair Credit Reporting Act (FCRA) and various state privacy laws protect individuals' privacy rights, ensuring that investigators must obtain permission or have a legitimate legal reason to access such information.

Options that suggest automatic access, even if required by law or with a signed consent, recognize exceptions but fail to emphasize that general access without consent is not permissible. Thus, the statement is accurately identified as false.
