http://countercurrentnews.com/2016/04/police-cadet-turns-cop-turning/Officer Cedric Greer, 24, was arrested by New Mexico State Police after video evidence showed him turn his lapel cam off just before beating a man, then turning it back on afterward. According to the report, the video shows his finger reaching for the camera to turn it off.
Witnesses to the assault say that Greer acted without being provoked and that the victim complied with all orders both before and after the attack.
State police issued a statement Friday stating that Greer battered an individual during a call for service that he was conducting at a local Albuquerque hotel. He struck the individuals head several times with a closed fist and then delivered several strikes to the individuals chest causing bruising. Witnesses claimed the individual was cooperative with Mr. Greer before and after the battery.
Greer was arrested for misdemeanor aggravated battery because a police cadet turned him in after witnessing the incident.

They just told their cops they can't open fire at private citizens in their car with children in it... that they have bodycams is new, they shouldn't be able to turn them off at all.

Otherwise they can record as they wish, instead as it happens.

using a throw away gun to plant on another dead victim. It may take a while, but they will get him.
