Makes no sense. Police can’t keep information confidential. It is called Discovery(Brady v. Md). Why should a paid clerk be able to keep criminal information confidential but a duly appointed law Enforcement Officer can’t?
Secondly, the Judge wanted to see the information IN CAMERA. That means only the Judge sees it. Not the Defense Attorney. Why would this person Not want to show it to the Judge. Probably made up. Fraudulent. It is called Official Misconduct. Much more criminal than Contempt.
Because of the contract with the informant.
