What videotaping?

There’s no evidence he was videotaping...the cops erased it.

I bet if the actual video had shown Henderson getting in the way of the paramedics copies would have been made and used at the trial. Exculpatory evidence gets deleted.

If you want to video the cops, you have to have a whole team doing it to get multiple copies and to video members of the team being harassed by the cops. It also helps to have a camera which can automatically upload the video to the web as it is being made.

Even if they didn't "erase it", it is obvious that they took no steps to preserve evidence which they justified seizing. Somebody needs to explain how their police procedures permit this incompetence.

Have they no policy concerning the preservation of video evidence seized from defendants? They certainly can't claim that they seized the camera because possession of a camera is prohibited; the existence of the video is the only "justification" for the seizure.
