re: #110 Mattand

I would imagine something along the lines of a person being falsely arrested and having the video leaked before they could clear their names.

I could also see cops harassing someone they don’t like, and then “accidentally” leaking the video to the internet. Instant smear and destruction of privacy,Chuck C Johnson style.

Which would suggest a need for a strict set of rules on who can access the footage and accountability for its release outside the confines of the department. I’m not going to say that restricting access will prevent “leaks,” but I will say that knowing who could have had access and when will them more costly. If a guy in records could lose not only his job and his pension, but spend time behind bars for “leaking” video, he might not be so inclined to take part in a smear job.
