    Well, simple solution is when there is a camera defect or footage was “mysteriously lost”, the police officer’s testimony loses credibility.

    This footage should be directly wired to the Ombudsman’s office, not be held by the police in any capacity.

      I’m more a fan of if the camera has a defect the officer takes full responsibility
