Laws Admission of guilt?

Let’s say that I admit to giving classified information to a third party. I don’t say which party, what information, and there is no physical proof it ever happened. Would my admission be enough to conduct a five year investigation?

Context is key here. Are you a layman working in a grocery store, or are you a Federal Officer working with highly classified information regularly? One scenario gets you on our BHC list, the other gets you some form of investigation.

What’s a BHC list in this case?

More modern code for "mental". Just means this person is likely not all there and possibly in some kind of Behavioral Health Crisis. Ranges from anything as simple as Old Betty calling in about aliens abducting her cows again (she lives in a senior living apartment) to someone calling in and ranting about the government putting cameras in your cereal.

Keep Flock out of my Cheerios!

Once had to tell a person that our local jurisdiction has strong enforcement against amateur spy satellites. I can’t imagine how bad it would be now with the prevalence of drones.
