The third video shows cars disappearing. It looks like they want to hide something. I see several episodes where nothing happens, no cars and no people in view. Why not copy those moments? Or is this done on purpose by an editor who cannot disobey an order (to make parts of the video disappear), but can sabotage the result by playing stupid?
I usually take the side of the cops, but this whole thing is pretty sketchy.
First, she gets pulled over for an improper lane change. When was the last time you got pulled over for something so random and minor? Then the cop starts harassing her to put out her cigarette, then tells her to get out of the car, then threatens to tase her, then the officer leaves out may of the details of the arrest in his report.
Then she dies in an apparent suicide days later. And now, we have a poorly edited video of the incident.
None of the facts in this case add up at all.
So yes, it would seem they have plenty to hide and this video only adds fuel to the fire that they're covering something up.

Drive a beat up old vehicle in a wealthy area and it will happen every month or two, even if you're doing the same speed as everyone else. If it's a slow shift cops will pull over anyone suspicious which basically means looking different or out of place, just a funny looking hat or a bunch of boxes in your back seat could be enough to catch their eye, then they'll pull you over for something like doing 4 over, rolling a 4-way stop or a lane change violation even if you're the only vehicle around and it's 1AM. I find a lot wrong with this "stopping people the check their papers" behavior, but that's not the point, point is that it happens and is likely what happened here so making the traffic stop itself was likely a perfectly normal practice.
Being white with a clean record I've always gotten off with a warning. If any of those weren't the case or I fumbled the "where are you coming from/going to" question I'm sure I'd receive a lot more scrutiny. If you don't just bend over at that point and the officer is a jerk then theres a chance of things going downhill like we've seen here.
It wouldn't surprise me if they doctored the video as a knee-jerk reaction. It's a small organization with lots of group-think with a culture discouraging transparency. They had after more than a decade of being allowed to do all sorts of things without public scrutiny. A dumb mistake like releasing a edited video is most certainly not out of the question. If they edited it it was likely done in-house (explaining the abundance of "rookie mistakes") to prevent a loose end.
Can anyone present one other instance where an issue with the camera, recording medium or data corruption at any stage of the process between capture and youtube that has resulted in a video with these characteristics?
Exactly, also, if this were the case, it implies that every other dash camera of the same make is unsuitable for use as evidence & not fit for purpose.
