Do I believe the police planted a gun on this guy? Not for a minute.

One more thing. Actually, I wouldn't bet on a plant either. But here's one thing I would bet on: the cops knew who Orta was, and his connect to the video. And so they were following him around, hoping to get in a little payback.

Am I sure? Not at all. But that's the way I'd bet.

I would like to see a defense attorney use that line of reasoning in front of a jury.

"Ladies and Gentlemen of the jury. My client shot a video of cops making an arrest. Later, the cops followed my client around and he went into a known drug house. When he came out they contacted him and found him is possession of drugs and a gun. The only reason they arrested him was for payback. The defense rests."
