Dashcam Tampering

[heironymouspasparagus]

Do you have a thread about Eaton?

One of my ongoing rants for a while now.  Tim Harris office, Judge Glasco, et al.

The charge felonious pointing of firearm - he came out to his front yard with his assault rifle (SKS 7.62), drunk.  (All in the police report)  Raised the gun, pointed it at two teen age boys visiting their grandparents, and pulled the trigger.  Pulled back the bolt again, found that he had forgotten to put a loaded magazine into the gun - because he was drunk - so went back into the house and got his Glock, that was loaded, came back out and tried to shoot them again, but they were disappearing into the house.  He told police that he was gonna "clean up" the neighborhood!!  How ironic - when that task would best be served by his and his 'buddies' removal from the neighborhood !  And no, the kids weren't doing illicit drugs - they were visiting their family and smoking in their front yard, since it wasn't allowed in the house.

And with their sense of entitlement engendered by the fact that any time someone in the neighborhood calls the police about the things that go on at the place, it is ignored because of the attitude, "Hey, he got away with attempted murder....what is a little complaint about noise, driving on other people's yards, parking his 'toy's on other people's yards...."  It has turned into a sweet little white trash enclave (is that racist??) where they also get away with discharging firearms in the back yard, as well as smaller things like street racing and having up to three families residing in a single family zoned neighborhood and parking on the grass.   No accountability, because it is well known that if the felony charges that he plead guilty to are so casually dismissed, then no lesser indiscretion really matters....  

I do notice from casual observation and talking to acquaintances in the neighborhood, that Daddy won't allow that stuff in his gated community - he set them up in the poor people's neighborhood...  Also, BA police were the ones involved in the initial arrest and they did an excellent job!  Their efforts were erased due to the good ole boy network in the DA's office.


He plead guilty, but was told no...we don't accept that a little later (01-24-2011)....

Not that any of this makes any difference, Vash...

Chicago Police Hid Mics, Destroyed Dashcams To Block Audio, Records Show
https://www.dnainfo.com/chicago/20160127/archer-heights/whats-behind-no-sound-syndrome-on-chicago-police-dashcams

Police officers stashed microphones in their squad car glove boxes. They pulled out batteries. Microphone antennas got busted or went missing. And sometimes, dashcam systems didn't have any microphones at all.
Officials last month blamed the absence of audio in 80 percent of dashcam videos on officer error and "intentional destruction."

I think reporters have been so used to just trusting the handouts that they dont think to check to see if video backs up the story.  In this case, it clearly didnt, and it may not be the first case of "he tried to hit me" where it turned out to be nothing more than a catch phrase.

The latest batch of Friday Open Records dumps included more blurred dashcam video from incidents weeks ago.  Everything in each is out of focus except the onscreen display, so is this the trend now or just a coincidence?  

The top dashcam is from Mingo Valley and the bottom is Riverside.
In the Riverside image, the text is sharp while the image it is overlaid on is blurred, indicating the likelihood the blurring took place at the camera rather than in the editing process.

Vaseline is the new "Transparency"

[Vashta Nerada]

A prime example of an out-of-control police pursuit, climaxing with blindly firing a dozen shots down the middle of a residential neighborhood, and the cop (Clayton Hicks) falsely claiming he was injured.

Does this seem like someone who would deliberately sabotage their dash camera?

The new mayor got into another firey police chase and crash on Day 1.

Two children were inside one car that was hit, but escaped as it went up in flames.
Apparently Bynum was in a ride-along with a reality TV crew in tow, and police kept local media away so they could have exclusive access.

Fox 23 was there not long after it happened.

The officer didn't hit the record button on his body camera until after the initial encounter with Dombrowski. However, these devices store 30 seconds of silent video that has already happened before the record button is actually activated. The police body camera silently captured the moment the officer exits his patrol vehicle, walks up to Dombrowski, who is seen walking a bike on the sidewalk, and pushes the man to the ground.

"As instructed and taught in training, I performed an impact push"

"When I saw that, I was very concerned," (former police officer) Ramirez told ABC News. "It's our contention that the police officer knew what he was doing in not starting the video until about 25 seconds into his beating of my client."
The attorney also argued that police thought his client was resisting arrest when he was actually reacting to the pain from the Taser.

Exactly one week after Minneapolis suburb paid the officer acquitted of killing unarmed motorist Philando Castile $48,500 to resign, a woman who called 911 and was talking to a responding officer... is shot by the officer's partner thru the door of the police car...with no explanation.  
Because of recent high-profile shootings, Minneapolis police equipped their force with body cameras.  Now the problem is deciding when to turn them on.

Well, it was proven just a couple weeks earlier that they can commit murder with no consequences. 


And we are going into a 4th trial here in town about the same thing.  Cop goes up to 18 year old daughter's boyfriend - none of his business to start with, since she is 18 - and just blows him away.

If you are going to cherry-pick 14 clips from a dashcam video you might as well just release the whole video.

It is obvious that it wasn't that dark on that patio - there is all kinds of light there - the only one in dark zone were the officers.  And they couldn't see a phone versus a crowbar??  Can even see the reflection of the light on the fence behind the cops.
