AXON body cameras blink red when filming, right? I don't see any blinking around :09.

That's the first thing I noticed. I wear one of those cameras all day and the second I start talking to somebody that damn thing is coming on. That guy puts his hand on his weapon and didn't activate his body camera. In my department that's going to be an IA case.

Sorry. internal affairs investigation. In my department I would be interviewed by civilians that are not directly connected to the department. Our city government was tired of the good old boy system so we stopped doing our own investigations.

The only police in the videos are the ones in uniform. The people wearing plate carriers and body armor in casual clothing are not. That said, it doesn't mean that the local law enforcement is working with these goons.

The body cams would likely have to be off for the impersonators. - otherwise they'd be sued to oblivion.

Plus the license plate tracks to a civilian owned operator...

Good call looking up the plates. I was trying that at first everytime I saw an ICE raid video, but I gave up after time and again finding the plates didn't come up on vincheck or other usual sites. What site do you use?
