Third party storage and withholding videos as "evidence" are tactics to make public scrutiny more difficult or impossible.The rationale for withholding evidence is to prevent tampering. That argument falls flat because a copy is just as reliable for public scrutiny. Is there a time limit before video "evidence" must be made public? How long should a DA withhold such "evidence" in the absence of a trial? How long should police withhold such "evidence" during an ongoing investigation? There are time limits to filing civil actions. There have been too many recent instances where government has seized video footage and refused to release them to victims. |
