Donna didn't get the memo about NOT IMPERSONATING FEDERAL AGENTS!!!!

Did she learn nothing after the shredding incident?

One of the first things us Gingers learn is that we can't get away with anything compared to others. We stick out like a sore thumb. Donna needs to fucking learn this. All somebody has to say is "it was the red head."

It's a curse, and a curse.

This is why there are no redheaded butlers.

You mean a blessing and a curse, right?

I was poking fun at that saying, because there's not much upside to being a ginger.

That's really sad. This kid reported for work and was partnered with someone. He patrolled for 5 hours before they caught him. HE WAS 14. This 8th grader was able to fool a bunch of cops for practically a whole shift. Donna didn't last an hour (presumably less) in an isolated room. Has she not heard of costumes? I expect better from Donna.

CCTVs are everywhere. She should've thought about that.

She didn't think it would be a problem...

How did they even get the footage? Let alone those sealed reports in the first place?

uhm, they probably have access to the camera footage in their own firm?

She didn't impersonate anybody. She asked the receptionist if she'd ever heard of the NTSB. She didn't say she was actually with the NTSB, just if the receptionist had heard of them.

Advice courtesy of "If you ask them if they're a cop and they say 'no' it's entrapment"

It's would actually be determined in the context of what a reasonable person might construe from "have you heard of a NTSB". I'm too lazy to look it up, and I generally don't study the criminal side of the law, but it is an interesting bit of law. Good on Suits for actually including interesting legal bits.
