Cop’s Video Tape Missing, but the Accused Has His Own

Posted by wcbelew on July 9th, 2010 in Weird | 1 Comment

A 20-year old man videotaped a police officer’s angry taunt during a traffic stop, then put it in the Internet.

The officer’s videotape recording is missing. Golly, don’t we wonder why?

The police policy is “any contact the officer has with the public has to be on tape.”

Then lost, if there is going to be a problem later….

The young man had a camera in his car that he put there a year ago after getting a speeding ticket that he didn’t think he deserved.

Now, he is saying he didn’t deserve having an officer in his face, with spit flying at him.

The stopped also cited his fourth Amendment rights – his reasonable expectation of privacy….something his ‘interested in.’

And, who says Community College students don’t have the smarts?
