"Police and prosecutors ask us not to rush to judgment about a second series of police body camera videos that raise questions about officers planting drugs during a search. Fine. But it certainly looks fishy, and it reinforces concerns raised by the Department of Justice’s report into the Baltimore police’s conduct a year ago.
The public learned from the first questionable video released this summer that Baltimore’s body cameras are continually recording a short loop of footage even when they’re turned off, so that when an officer activates the camera, the device preserves the previous 30 seconds of tape, though with no sound. That’s why we were able to see Officer Richard Pinheiro appear to place a baggie of drugs in a soup can in an alley, walk back to the corner, turn his camera on, walk back and “find" the drugs. And it's part of what makes the new series of videos that came to light this week so suspicious.
In the new case, police pull over a car on Nov. 29, 2016, after witnessing what they believe to have been a drug deal. Police said they smelled marijuana in the car and initiated a search. At about 11:51 p.m., according to a time stamp on the video, one officer is seen thoroughly searching the area around the driver’s seat. He takes out the floor mat, runs his hands between the cushions, shines his flashlight under and around the seat and, after a minute of looking, finds nothing.”*
