i hate police bodycam footage bc they post peoples worst moments on youtube but its great for its original purpose

And this is why I'd ditch my British Citizenship as soon as an opportunity for something else comes up. The place is a cesspit and I'm never going back.

Kind of shocked they didn't overwrite the card like the owner thought they would. Would still be a bad look for the pigs to some level, but not like SD cards or other storage in cams don't already corrupt files from time to time. At the same time I am also mildly surprised they didn't just damage the cam and claim it somehow happened when they arrested the person (just find an excuse to be extra rough and say "it must have happened then"). But leaving it out for so long and not place into an evidence locker, while openly talking about corrupt shit is beyond dumb.

And I am glad they were that dumb. Because proof is much worse when it can be heard by so many more people. Sadly I imagine the people will just be mad, be told the bad apples thing by the leadership (and likely raid that massage place to distract attention), and go on believing that "that happened but it was back then and not now."
