In Laura the avenger strays from his duty, as his infatuation with the titular character (as a portrait) grows. His "passion" leads to her appearance at a police station. His interrogation is unique in it's further implication of the law after the film's big revelation. It illustrates how McPherson forces procedure while repressing his desire - the process en masse that largely led to the creation of the American noir style in the first place.
