Seattle Police Erasing Thousands of Dash Cam Videos, Massively Breaching Public Records Law
Washington state law requires all known videos by police to be kept for 90 days, but Seattle Police capture dash video from all patrol cruisers and automatically dump it 3-5 days later.
Seattle activist Tim Clemans requested video from the fail-safe dash cam video recording system implemented by private contractor COBAN.
His request was denied.
