FWIW, the informer went further than what is stated in this article. He said the policemen involved were allowed to view the tape and write their report(s). Supervisors then reviewed the reports and returned it to them for several “rewrites” as they were unhappy with them. The informer also said the computer is hooked to some sort of mainframe (sorry if my terminology is bad, this is my understanding) and there will be a log of all these entries and re-entries.
If the reports match the video, I have no problem with it.
