“A Louisville, Kentucky, police detective violated department policy by not turning on his body-worn camera while arresting Scottie Scheffler”
I suspect they deleted the video because it made them look bad.
“I suspect they deleted the video because it made them look bad.”
I’m no expert but I read once that body cameras are always on partly because by the time a cop realizes he needs the video, important events prior to his turning it on might have not been recorded.
The camera is running, but it retains only the past few minutes unless explicitly activated by the cop.
