Oh, that security, we bad? sorry? ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
It worked.
The data files need more bars on the Windows.
Bet cha the “officials” were dummycrats…
…this reminds me of the time a local village pulled over a guy in the pre-Clinton era for something, and found some cannabis in the car. The officer was kind enough to just confiscate it and cite to court (remember, this was back when they WOULD arrest you for this, and impound your car besides) and let him go. He dropped it at the nearby police station, where the perp saw him go, then left.
Observing this, the fellow decided he wanted his spliff back, or maybe just wanted the evidence. Either way, seeing as how this was just an unmanned, Mayberry-type station, he figured it’d be an easy score. To that end, he went around to the back and started work in the door, apparently with the notion that police just piled the pot on the floor and rolled around in it, so it would be right there where he could get it.
Unbeknownst to either of them, the officer returned to the FRONT of the station during these proceedings to do some paperwork, and opened the FRONT door just as the formerly lucky fellow opened the REAR.
They met more or less in the middle. It didn’t go well.
…on the other hand, he DID get to spend the balance of the night in the same building as his pot after all, but it turns out the cell door had a MUCH better lock on it than the BACK door…
Another Holder plan?
MM – it was Operation Slow & Spurious
