If 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.

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.
