> When the officer left the room for a few minutes, Nada found himself alone with the case file. Desperate for answers, he riffled through it. The officer had written notes dismissing him as paranoid, Nada told me. (The local police and prosecutor declined to comment.) But the police had also obtained copies of requests for records about Lord Energy and a local mosque. Both had been filed by a Geneva-based private intelligence firm, Alp Services.
What an amazing stroke of luck! They left the room and "forgot" to bring the case file with them. I hope he thanked them afterwards.

- AlbertCory 4y agoIf you want to believe a cop leaves a witness alone in a room with a police file about him, accidentally, I guess you're welcome to.
- gamblor956 4y agoI've seen cops leave suspects alone in a room with the key evidence needed to convict them, accidentally reveal the names of confidential informants in conversation, and various other case-killing mistakes. It does not seem like a stretch for a cop to accidentally leave his notes in an interview room in a police station. Most interviewees aren't bold enough to risk looking.
- knodi123 4y agoI once got a phone call from a guy who stole my bike, begging me not to press charges. He'd overheard my name from the cops, and I was in the phone book. I said I'd press charges anyway and I hoped he rotted in jail. Of course, joke was on both of us, since there's no such thing as "pressing charges" and he just had to pay a fine.
- hgsgm 4y agoPressing charges is a thing, but it is prosecutor's discretion and usually relies on the victim's consent to be effective.
- sangnoir 4y agoI don't doubt this can happen the same way people lock their keys inside their cars or homes - and not out of generosity to locksmiths.
