sounds like we need legislation to require the badge-cam video evidence to be presented the court to the allow any legal proceeding to by the police to continue and any where the proceeding are initiated by a member of the public to be found in their favor automatically if badge-cam footage is not presented.
- giantg2 6y agoI wouldn't go that far. I would agree for cases that don't have any other evidence. But cases that have other evidence could still be valid.
- curryst 6y agoI think it would be more apt to issue a jury instruction that loss of evidence against law enforcement by law enforcement can be interpreted as a sign of guilt, similar to how pleading the 5th can be interpreted as a sign of guilt in civil cases. It does not conclusively mean they are guilty (accidents do happen), but it can be considered in cases that lack other evidence. Furthermore, if the person who "lost" the evidence can be found, they should be tried as a conspirator.
