The most interesting legal statement from the Hoover police spokesperson was that is common practice to edit the police car tapes before transferring them to another jurisdiction or to the prosecutor's office.
This is a common practice in Alabama.
Anyone who has had any court case where a police tape was listed as evidence should contact an attorney immediately. Traffic citations are allowed.
The statement of practice is cause to reopen all cases on grounds of new evidence. The new evidence is the unedited police tape.
If the state or city can not produce the original tape instead of the edited tape then there should be cause for dismissal.
The dismissal will justify cause to recover costs, attorney fees, fines, and sue for damages.
It is time the Nancy Grace police force was shut down.
Nancy Grace was dismissed from the Atlanta prosecution team for withholding evidence.
Editing a tape is withholding evidence.
This practice is just like Bob Riley and Troy King's campaign to prevent the use of DNA in death row cases.
