Fairy Tales of Security: The Criminologist's Mistake
Vladimir Bezmaly | 20.03.2020
Early morning in the town. Spring, birds singing. Everything foreshadows a calm sunny day. The police chief, Major Ivashev, saw his little daughter off to school and calmly went to work. In their small town, the biggest crime was the drunken brawl that happened last week, when a neighbor broke his neighbor's nose. And the week before that, when Maria Yegorovna Kvashnina broke her husband's head with a frying pan because he drank away half his salary. In short, a calm town.
Suddenly, a service car stopped next to the major.
- Comrade Major, trouble! A bank branch has been robbed.
— Is everyone alive?
- That's it! Unfortunately, the criminals managed to escape faster than we arrived. They did it in less than 3 minutes.
— Do you have a photo?
— Everyone was wearing masks. There is a photo of one, taken from a neighboring building, and even then, the photo is blurry, a reflection in a glass display case.
- Wait, you said everyone was wearing masks.
- He just took off his mask. We can't do anything with this photo ourselves, we've already sent it to the region, they have more serious forensic experts there. They say they can enlarge and clean up the photo. Maybe something will work out.
- Good morning, Petrovich! We've been brainstorming, and our experts have found out that the person in the photo is Ivan Pryakhin. He has a previous conviction for robbery.
- Wait, but he still has to sit for two years.
— Released on parole. Two months already.
- Task force, on the move! Take him and bring him here.
Another three hours passed.
- Citizen Pryakhin? You are under arrest for georgia whatsapp data attack on a bank branch.
- I don't get it, boss. For what??? I was in the garage all day. The entire team can confirm this, and we have cameras everywhere, the management took care of it.
- We'll check, but for now, sit with us and wait.
Another hour passed.
- Comrade Major, Pryakhin is telling the truth, it wasn't him. He was at work all day from 7am until almost 7pm, they had an urgent order. He was on camera the whole time and never left. Something's wrong! Let the experts work again.
