I think police investigation would be a very minor concern compared to the massive social upheaval that the device would cause. A very similar idea was explored in The Light of Other Days - not a great book plot-wise, though.
I read the original short story in one of the Asimov collections but didn't realise it had been made into a full length novel.
The classic short story E for Effort also discusses this.
