To address that very real problem there needs to be a 'missing video presumption' law. Simply put, if the police account of an encounter contradicts the citizen's account, and the police video went 'missing', the citizen's account will be assumed to be corroborated in the eyes of the law. The other piece to addressing police abuse is that complaints need to be investigated by independent investigators (maybe federal) and indictments should not be up to local prosecutors who often have a collegial relationship with officers. If a grand jury is convened, the victim/plaintiff should have representation to make their case as well. As we've seen in the Eric Garner case, having video evidence of misconduct is sometimes not enough.
