Citizens Review Board On Police Practices
Shaikh sat on San Diego's Citizens Review Board on Police Practices (CRBPP) during the time frame of his co-operation with the FBI. Ethical questions arose about his qualifications for city employment, as active police informants are precluded from employment on police oversight committees for obvious reasons. Joe Cantlupe was one reporter whose articles about Shaikh and the CRBPP appeared in the San Diego Union-Tribune. Shaikh was later removed from the board.

“Illness is the night-side of life, a more onerous citizenship. Everyone who is born holds dual citizenship, in the kingdom of the well and in the kingdom of the sick. Although we all prefer to use only the good passport, sooner or later each of us is obliged, at least for a spell, to identify ourselves as citizens of that other place.”
—Susan Sontag (b. 1933)

Was just that I was leaving home and my folks were growing old.”
—Robert Louis Stevenson (1850–1894)
