I can't believe it's been this long) and I can't help but feel that you have some sort of opinion on many of these cases, but if you have them, you only betray them in small parenthetical comments.<br /><br />I'd like to see you offer more opinions on these rulings. You've obviously been reading more of this stuff critically than the average law buff - why not stake a claim? Is there a reason for your neutrality?EasilyEnthusedhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13216075229668897523noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21633793.post-26092500519147927302011-04-04T16:45:49.860-04:002011-04-04T16:45:49.860-04:00Yes, this sounds like total BS to me.

The court seems to be saying it's fine that the physical record was destroyed, because you can just ask the LEO what happened... You'd think after all this time, and all the cases where the recordings show LEOs lying, courts would have finally started to be critical of cases where the recordings are "accidentally" lost of destroyed. Sure, it's possible... but is it really likely?<br /><br />Especially the explanation provided here, that the DVD "erased" itself, when the the computer was being operated by a "tech-savvy" person, seems at the least far fetched. Not to mention, who the hell uses a *re-writable* DVD for the collection or storage of evidence?
