Pics or it didnĀ“t happ ā¦ no, wait.
If it turns out as described in the article, those cops need to be crucified (metaphorically speaking) as an example to others of their kind.

And the way they said āCamera!ā makes me think of how soldiers communicate on the battlefieldāterse, threat identification, no extraneous details. Itās not just the toys from the Pentagon that makes these fellows militerizedāitās the mindset as well.
BB returns to its roots: a Wonderful Thing indeed.
Iām all for efficient communication(and, in fairness, would note that most professions with time-sensitive periods have at least some terse jargon to deal with those); but the fact that ācameraā has a terse threat alert signal in the same way that āgun!ā does strikes me as a very, very, bad thing.
Surely our boys in blue have no reason to be worried about cameras, since they are definitely on the up and up?
In other rhetorical questions, what laughably weak lesser synonym for ādestruction of evidenceā will they end up being charged with because they arenāt little people?
Maybe something like:
āDestruction of evidenceā is a serious crime.
That was the point that I was reaching for myself. I just didnāt phrase it as clearly or directly as you did. Thanks! 
The answer is multiple cameras.
One can fail. Barring an EMP, seven failing simultaneously would pretty clearly prove a conspiracy. 4 on each car, two on each officer (front and rear), one on each pistol and long gun, one on each dog.
Because why would you mind, if you have nothing to hide, Officer Friendly?
Can I buy EMP futures? I foresee several surprisingly localized EMP events directed at law enforcement in the near future.
Since they didnāt succeed in destroying the evidence, I wonder whether āattempted destruction of evidenceā is considered a crime. Certainly their attorney (in the vanishingly-unlikely case that they are indicted) would argue that they didnāt destroy any evidence.
In any case, all of this should make it more and more important for video apps to have a āstart streaming to the cloud NOW!ā button.
You donāt have to destroy all the evidence to be guilty of destroying evidence.
from the articleā
āDenver Police Cmdr. Matt Murray said the department will review Frasierās claims and if disciplinary action is warranted, the department will be transparent and let the public know.ā
anybody want to start a betting pool on how thatās going to turn out?
Iāve tried some apps that were recommended for streaming to the cloud but never found one that doesnāt feel super sketchy and unreliable.
Iām hopeful that iOS and Android will start doing this natively, in the background, more reliably. This article indicates that we may be getting there.
In the meantime undelete functionality would be a useful thing to be able to enable. With the amount of extra storage most devices have today thereās no reason not to allow this.
Translation: āIf we absolutely canāt sweep this under the rug, weāll āpunishā the officers with some paid time off and sternly worded letters that will be mysteriously lost from their files. Weāll inform the public with a Friday afternoon press release.ā
Google does, at least on Android, if you have the auto-backup for photos and videos enabled. All my stuff on my phone or my tablet automatically goes to the cloud.

Zero times three is still zero.
Itās very telling. Shouting camera and getting an immediate response from your co-conspirators indicates to me that itās common.
