8. Self-Snitching: It's Not Just For Criminals Anymore
Tue Jul 25, 2017, 03:59 PM
Jul 2017


Vox.com: Officer Richard Pinheiro puts a bag of pills under some trash in an alley. He then walks to the street. He then switches on his camera, walks back to the alley, and acts like he just found the drugs for the first time...apparently (he) didn’t realize that body cameras often save the last 30 seconds of footage before they’re manually activated...

The...prosecutor dropped the charges...Although, in a troubling development, the prosecutor apparently used Pinheiro as an eyewitness in a separate case even after learning of his misconduct in the video...


Once he's fired, maybe Pinheiro can get a job writing for the next Police Academy movie...
