Or, I suspect the excuse will be the “cameras weren’t working that night” or the “tape has been accidentally erased.”
You’re right, those tapes and/or the cops’ body cam footage will never be released, if it hasn’t already been destroyed.
“””cops’ body cam footage will never be released, if it hasn’t already been destroyed”””
I suspect SFPD will say that cops do not activate their body cams on a ‘welfare check’.
