This is just one retired cop, who’s cost New York more than $100-million in settlements and claims. How many thousand more cops, as bad as Louis Scarcella or worse, are still being protected?
… Mr. Scarcella, who retired in 1999, has not been charged with any crimes despite official findings of bad practices, and he has insisted he did nothing wrong. He gave his fullest public accounting yet in a new podcast called The Burden, in which he insisted he was simply one of many cogs in a system ratcheted up to rein in rampant crime during a time when murder rates were several times higher than they are today…
They are probably demanding positive proof (not sure what that could be) that they deleted the document.
This is a lawyer thing, there should be processes in place to do things like that. It almost came up during the Alex Jones stuff IIRC.
The question is still reasonable. If it’s in an envelope, you can return or destroy it. You can’t unreceive a digital transmission.
