Can’t sweep this case under the rug. Confidential police documents including Social Security numbers and incident reports somehow ended up among the confetti dropped during the Macy’s Thanksgiving Day Parade, according to Manhattan’s WPIX. The papers, which seem to have come from the Nassau County Police Department, even include details about Mitt Romney’s motorcade to the first presidential debate, according to the station. Nassau County police spokesman Kenneth Lack said he is “very concerned about this situation,” and Macy’s said that it had nothing to do with the very public shredded-document leak.
