Destroy the video.
Try the cop and send him to prison under a different name.
Fire Rham and the Chief for failure to act responsibly.
That chief should have been gone long ago!
[Destroy the video.]
Destruction of evidence usually doesn’t work out too well for those doing it.
“Destroy the video.”
Digital media has a tendency for persistence, being easy to copy. Playing it often creates cached copies. Anything provocative tends to get copied by users. Just getting it from the camera to playback usually involves copying. Chain-of-custody systems are designed for persistent & secured storage. Even “delete” usually doesn’t, transferring instead to “scheduled for deletion” storage most users are unaware of. Backups are often automatic and immediate. Even a full aggressive deletion usually leaves viable veiled copies behind, recoverable by forensics motivated to find it (hi, Hillary!) akin to “find that garbage truck and search it!”. In a case like this, even a complete and total destruction of the video will leave the deafening silence of “where the he11 did it go?” which can be actionable itself.
Of course, if it’s my collection of digitized home videos, it spontaneously destructs and is completely unrecoverable. But that’s a different situation...
