WATCH: Connecticut State Troopers accidentally recorded themselves discussing plans to falsify a police report, and they got away with it

That’s the problem. They do. For some definition of “police”.

Anyway, can any defense attorney use this video to shred these troopers’ credibility in any case where they’re brought as a witness for the prosecution? “You were filmed on video in this previous case plotting how to falsify a police report. How can we trust that this time you didn’t plant evidence (without stupidly recording yourself?)”

That seems like a heaping helping of reasonable doubt right there.
