Lol Tallahassee PD is going full “shoot the messenger and the messenger’s dog” about this. Blithering on about how releasing the video is wrong and now the dude they tried to frame can’t get a fair trial because people saw the video, which they were totally gonna show after the trial (trust me, bro. bro you gotta trust me. we can’t have people knowing what happened until after he’s found guilty and we get to take a bunch of his money by force.) but now everyone is gonna be prejudiced in favor of the defendant which violates his rights and that part of the video where she clearly opens a sealed container, dumps it out, throws it back into the car and then arrests him for open container was taken out of context.
99% of people charged with DWI, plead guilty or may settle down for a lesser charge. Fighting a case like that is a lot of money ($5k-$10k), your average citizen probably doesn’t have a emergency fund. It’s horrible, and not only that, the cop who charges the person with a DWI gets a nice bonus at the end of the year. You can’t assure yourself that you’ll be in the clear if you’re sober; they might have insiders who mess around with your test results and make it look like you had alcohol/drugs in your system.
After I saw that one of the officer palming a baggy and acting like they found it I thought: how could I possibly protect myself when they’re running a search like this? Scary shit.
The only way is hidden cameras in your car that constantly backup to the cloud via lte. Which if that sounds stupid it’s because it is. You shouldn’t have to even consider shit like that let alone do it
body cams are for police highlight reels and for taking clips of their murders home to masturbate furiously too. Not for the public good, or justice.
Which is why it often takes years to weasel the fucking video out of their hands when it shows them doing wrong (and yet the videos are almost always immediately released when they think they are in the right…), like with that abduction victim teenage girl a few years ago who the police blasted the fuck out, from behind, despite her following all instructions.
That’s what the police think surveillance video is for, at least. When they’re done assaulting innocent old women with dementia they sit around with their buddies, watch the video and laugh and laugh. I assumed that when the officer said “wait for the pop” he was talking about the audible sound of him breaking this 73 year old dementia patient’s arm over $13 in goods from Walmart, but the way they’re gathered around the screen celebrating the assault, maybe he did mean popcorn.
"By showing the video where our corrupt officer destroyed property and framed a man, you have ruined our attempt to imprison an innocent man who didnt deserve it.
How dare you, public, for foisting this terrible injustice upon all of law enforcement!"

It hurts to think about how many of these cases they haven’t caught.

Yeah, maybe we violently need to get rid of police?
I thought this is what body cams were for, or was it just for watching with your buddies during weekends while eating popcorn
