The Seattle courts have voted in favor of not only allowing police to keep any dash cam video from the public, but also to automatically delete the vid footage after a certain amount of time has passed.

Its not the technology that's Bad its how it is used that matters. Like the tv its an amazing way to communicate up until the thing starts with the half truth. Dash video is now a half truth. Its only gonna tell one side of the story.

Here is the general rule.

If the dash cam vid exonerates the cop, it will be released

If it does not, it will be hidden, or deleted or they old the camera malfunctioned.

Come on Andy, that will NEVER happen

The tape was returned to KOB some days later, but the clip in question had been deleted.

Lopez later admitted that she took the camera home and did not properly label it as evidence.

Trying to keep stuff forever is very difficult and costly- obviously they should ****can the videos after a certain period.

News rpt says they want to hold it for 3 years before releasing it. And coincidentally after 3 yrs they get auto deleted.

So the ruling has the effect of never disclosing anything.

In our village, our police chief never turned on his cruiser cam because he said it was nobody's business what he did.

Shocking!

Then he stopped spouse for a trumped up citation. The first thing spouse did was ask for the video. Uh, he said the camera wasn't on because of a 'loose wire'. Oh boy, was there a big uproar.

The mayor said he talked to the chief and wanted that camera fixed as soon as possible.

Spouse then requested video of the 15 minutes prior to the 'loose wire' and 15 minutes after the wire was 'fixed'.

Guess what, that 'loose wire' was 'fixed' appx 5 minutes later, after spouse's citation.

Well that gives a defense attorney a perfect way to convince a jury of the innocence of his client, "The police refuse to present the dashcam video. What are they trying to hide?"

There was also a recent case where the courts said it was ok for the prosecution to lie. That's another way to impeach any prosecutorial testimony, "Ladies and gentlemen of the jury, you are of course aware that the United States Supreme Court said it's ok for the prosecution to lie. Keep that in mind when their evidence is presented".
