Remember the Cop Incident? (Update!) |

Posted by Nilet on Fri Aug 17 00:16:45 2007, in response to ROBBED BY A COP— PROPERTY DESTROYED!, posted by Nilet on Sun Apr 29 20:42:32 2007. Yes, this is a month-old necropost in a thread originally started at the end of April and raised from the dead several times. It was either that or start a new thread on the same topic, and either one probably violates some rule of message board etiquette, which doesn't seem geared towards describing long drawn-out processes like the filing and investigation of a complaint of police misconduct. Anyway. I stopped by the CCRB today on my way to a birthday celebration to pick up the memory card. They had, it seems, recovered most of the deleted photos, if not all of them. I didn't ask specifically about the first recording of the cops' badge numbers, which was the primary evidence I hoped they'd uncover. When I got the memory card back, I found that it didn't have any of the pics on it, although they were obviously not overwritten. Investigator Cody said that strict nondisclosure policies at the CCRB prevent him from releasing the photos to me. I said that since the photos are mine, taken by me, submitted to them by me, and available to me with an undeletion program of my own, I didn't see why it was a problem to release their copies out of convenience. He said I'd need to talk to his supervisors about it. He also said that if I called him, he'd give me details on how I could get my own undeletion software, but I've already looked; it costs about $30, and the selections for Macs are limited, but existent. If I have to pay to recover them, I may pursue civil action to recover the costs, but I'd have to consult with the lawyers in the family. He also said that I should expect a letter relatively soon, though I don't know exactly what to expect in it. Updates will be posted as events progress, unless everyone gets sick of hearing about this and doesn't really care about the outcome. |
