Could you open the window? The cops have daddy's prints on file.

What it means
Our interpretation.
The request to open a window is explained by the police already having the speaker's fingerprints on file. That unexpected reason turns an ordinary favour into a revealing admission. Calling himself 'daddy' gives the reference to police records an incongruously familiar tone.
