He should report it to cover his own back, if nothing else. How would it look if someone else picked up on it and it was known that he’d been tasked with reviewing the footage?

S.O.D. says 1530 for the verb meaning “To force, put or set (a person) to a task; to impose a task on; to assign a definite amount of work to.” This means that it might have been said in America before it was said in England, but not by much.

Should go splut very nicely when some brat runs into whoever gets lumbered with carrying it, though.

“Every man at the beginning doth set forth good cider; and when men have well drunk, then that which is worse: but thou hast kept the good cider until now.”

Except they manage the trick of making every barrel nasty in a different way. (If you trust Jim’s taste in cider, or in anything really…)

Gaw, them Grundies can’t even pull off a good scam any more. Wot you do is, you buy in one barrel of the good stuff, and you act as if it’s a failed batch and you don’t really want to sell it, but all right just to you sir we’ll include some with your order…
