Body cam catches cop planting evidence

Ouch. Always know how your equipment works if you're gonna lie, kids. Especially if you're planting evidence, and your body cam records continuously and saves the last 30 seconds before you turn it on...

Body camera footage shows officer planting drugs, public defender says.

The footage is from a January drug arrest. It shows an officer placing a soup can, which holds a plastic bag, into a trash strewn lot. The officer can then be seen walking to the street, where he flips on his body camera.

"I'm gonna go check here," the officer says. He returns to the lot and picks up the soup can, removing a plastic bag filled with white capsules.

Police cameras have a feature that saves the 30 seconds of video prior to activation, but without audio. When the officer is first in the alley, there is no audio until 30 seconds later.
