It is. Only it doesn’t count against accrued vacation time.
Yep.
Call it The Nixon rule.
18-1/2 minutes of blank tape is enough to lose a presidency.
teach them to stay away from delivering newspapers ,being near dogs or texting at movies and they’ll probably live long and prosper.
Is that the little gem you were speaking of?
I’ve seen it multiple times..
Fullerton literally gave cops everywhere a license to beat unarmed people to death and that case will be cited in all future court trials involving cops.
Disturbing does not begin to describe what is happening in the U.S.
I missed that one. What I was thinking was Mr. Pearl had several members of law enforcement in his family. This should tell the badge lickers, the cop worshipers and jackboot lickers that no matter how much time they spent on licking badges, licking boots, worshiping cops, and kissing their collective asses, to them [the cops] they were just another scumbag.
Obviously there was no companion dog to shoot....
bflr
Thanks. I saw the reference to dropbox and it didn’t click. Have you seen any streaming apps from phone to a webserver?
“Can you hear me now!!!!”.
Not always.
A few years ago a federal jury held that 3 Kennewick, Washington cops were personally financially responsible for the injuries to man they had arrested for residential burglary.
The story goes that they were responding to a late night call and brought in the K-9 unit. They set the dog out and it started tracking and jumped over a neighbors fence and latched on to the neighbors friend who was in town for some fishing and staying in tent with his kids. So this guy is being ripped to shreds by the dog when the cops clear the fence and they take over the beating.

That is the type of video device each us needs for at least traffic stops. The data needs to be offloaded from the device in real time for preservation.
It takes about 30 seconds after the file is saved. So if they yank the phone out of my hand before I press stop I might have a problem. Its the best I could figure out on my budget.
For sure the cell phone is the best and cheapest device right now. But the cell phone is one of the first things the bad LEO will focus on as well. I have been pondering this for years as well, what type of system should be in a vehicle and inaccessible while streaming video to a protected location.
Perhaps the Dropbox app needs to be a background app so the power-down does not affect and is not noticeable. Only thing else is a wide angle view(s) from of several locations in and around the vehicle to capture most everything happening. No reason Bluetooth can’t be used to do a quick dump to an inaccessible “black box” in the vehicle so save time.
There are very small cameras and car based DVR systems. I’ve seen those and they arent that expensive. The problem is getting the data uploaded in near real time. That requires a cell phone.
My plan is to start recording if an event starts and then hope I can press stop before I lose the phone. Once stop is pushed they would have to turn the phone off or destroy it within a couple minutes to prevent the data transfer.
Right! As a base need, we should have a circular buffer camera loop running in our vehicles that records continually at all times we are driving, say a 30-minute loop that begins to over-write the prior recorded data every 30 minutes, unless some trigger says to record until manually stopped.
Now if that unit could also support a BT connection to a cell phone as purely an image or video capture sensor, we got it. No matter what happens to the phone, the data is secure. The systems are nearly in place in cars now, with the BT connectivity, but the routing of data to a secure or at least inaccessible storage (a nice unknown and hard-to-get flash drive) is lacking. All we need to do is to get the data out of the phone and out of reach of an LEO. The system (cell could be a redundancy) should be unknown to most people, and at least the LEO.
