It was hoped video would increase transparency in policing, but BBC has uncovered 150 reports of failings.
"The most serious allegations include:
*Cases in seven forces where officers shared camera footage with colleagues or friends - either in person, via WhatsApp or on social media
*Images of a naked person being shared between officers on email and cameras used to covertly record conversations
*Footage being lost, deleted or not marked as evidence, including video, filmed by Bedfordshire Police, of a vulnerable woman alleging she had been raped by an inspector - the force later blamed an “administrative error”
*Switching off cameras during incidents, for which some officers faced no sanctions - one force said an officer may have been “confused”
Huh, I though I left that in a reply to comment further down? How odd.
You had a post vanish? That’s happened to me a few times, too, very rarely. Funky fediverse. Hope it was something short, not something with six long paragraphs that took you half an hour to bang out… :)
No, it didn’t vanish. I think as the comment I was replying to was at the bottom of the page, and I’d tabbed away to grab that wiki link, I mistook the reply to thread text box as the reply to comment text box.
(I wrote a bloody long essay about tardigrades for a tumblr conversation the other day, spent hours researching it and getting my words out just right and editing in pictures. Just as i was about to post it, I dropped my phone, and while fumbling for it closed the app. Fuck me, I almost cried, haha. I was very lucky i somehow hit post during that fumble, it was a really nice surprise when I checked the app several hours later too!)
That’s the second best happy ending!
