For the Police whisleblower I'm not sure if it's the same one, but Adrian Schoolcraft's[1] case was pretty awful. He was mostly documenting relatively mundane (but still nasty) things like being given targets for the amount of littering, jaywalking, open-container etc arrests by the superior officers. However things took a bit of a weird turn, and he ended up with some recordings of the Police harrassing him at his home (including them basically abducting him under false mental health issues, and destroying what they thought was the only mic recording them doing so) are pretty awful - This American Life did a piece on this [2].
