Yep. They must be stupid cops. They don’t know how to turn the camera off while they commit a crime?
From a Baltimore Sun article:
The public learned from the first questionable video released this summer that Baltimore’s body cameras are continually recording a short loop of footage even when they’re turned off, so that when an officer activates the camera, the device preserves the previous 30 seconds of tape, though with no sound. That’s why we were able to see Officer Richard Pinheiro appear to place a baggie of drugs in a soup can in an alley, walk back to the corner, turn his camera on, walk back and “find" the drugs.Baltimore Sun article:
