Baltimore Public Defender's Office Accuses Police Officer of Planting Evidence



Baltimore police and prosecutors launched an investigation after the public defender’s office uncovered body-camera footage it says shows an officer planting evidence. The public defender’s office released the footage on Wednesday, July 19.
The footage was taken from a January drug arrest, according to a news report.
The video shows an officer putting a baggie inside a soup can at the start of the video, placing it on the ground and moving debris over it at the back of a vacant lot as two other officers watch. He then walks back to the street with the other officers, where it appears he turns on his body camera.
He says he’s going to “check here,” then walks back to the rear of the vacant lot, looks through the debris on the ground and then picks up the soup can and pulls out the baggie of white capsules.

come on now, why would a cop look under a pile of garbage for a can in the first place?
All of that debris and he goes for a specific can? .............and leave the body cam on all the time............sheesh
Planting evidence, now that's about as corrupt as it gets

This type of stuff has to be dealt with harshly. In the harshest manner. It completely undermines our criminal justice system.

Maybe if they hired older more vetted cops. For Christ sake that one kid looks 12!

as far as I know the cops around here, county officers, are some pretty square up guys. But it only takes one to ruin it for them.

It is just like Mueller hiring Democrats who contributed large sums of money to Democrats or who worked for the Clintons. It is obviously corrupt.

Baltimore is paying for the conditions they intentionally created, as is the case with every large city which is controlled by liberals

The cover up issues are a big part of the problem. I believe other police agencies should investigate corruption and crimes comitted on the job. Have the state police investigate the townies etc. Byt their isn't a lot of etc, it's usually the townies .
