Maybe I shouldn't be surprised, but for some reason, this video did surprise me. It comes from those body cam videos. What was supposed to be a routine video of a police officer discovering a stash of drugs and using this as evidence against the suspect is nothing but this. Because the camera is always recording, and saves 30 seconds of video before the button is actually pushed, what we see is the drugs actually planted first, just before they are supposedly found. The officer pushes the button to start recording after showing other officers where the drugs are placed, but because he didn't know about the 30 second rule, the entire fake drug plant was captured. Is this for real? Is this really who is trusted to keep us safe? http://www.sfgate.com/news/crime/ar...ays-video-shows-officer-planting-11299756.php
More crooked cops. Disgusting. Body cams should be on whenever an officer is on duty. You shouldn't be able to turn them off.
Its far worse .... welcome to commando style policing ... read up more on "civil asset forfeiture" https://www.aclunc.org/article/read-stories-civil-asset-forfeiture-victims
Apparently AG Sessions is in favor of expanding civil asset forfeiture BIG time! Is there nothing left of the 4th Amendment? What about the presumption of, "innocent until proven guilty"?
Thanks for mentioning Jeff Sessions, just reading up on wtf's going on ......... https://www.vox.com/policy-and-politics/2017/7/18/15985810/jeff-sessions-civil-asset-forfeiture ------------------------------------- "Not only has this made cops look like an occupying army, it has encouraged them to act like one.
