The data systems are probably fine. Police departments use VMS, ACS and PSIM systems that have audit trails built in.
This is user error/ ignorance/ intentional ignorance.
Edit I guess I shouldn't comment on backwater 3rd world counties. I live in an urban center and they are all kitted out here.
The oversight body, that acts outside the rapist precinct, says it cannot produce the 2 hours of video in question, even after sending drives off to forensics teams and scouring backups. They also have not provided answers as to why these specific 2 x 1 hour video blocks out of 40hrs, where the victim has clearly been recently drugged and was most likely raped, were not downloaded with the rest of the videos. They have also not given the victim any information about who opted not to download these videos, or who claimed they were "corrupted" initially.
They may have records, as they can clearly see that the videos in question were specifically excluded from from disclosure by the cops, but they won't tell the victim who opted to let those very important hours be overwritten.
She has been trying to get justice for 43 months. The oversight commitee finally took the case on 13 months ago when she released her story to the press. They were aware of a complaint she filed in 2022, but took no action, claiming her latest complaint, I.E press coverage, "brought new issues to light."
She still doesn't have answers.
Yup I had a thought about this. If they have appliance based recorders, tampering is a much more simple thing. If they "sent the drives off" this is probably the case, it wouldn't make sense to disassemble a server RAID to perform forensics.
They initially said that the had 4 discs, and one "corrupted," which just so happened to lose the most important 2 hrs out of the 40. Any raid except 0 would survive a loss of one disc, and 0 would lose all data, not just 5% of it. This sounds more like a JBOD config than RAID, which would be very stupid setup for data retention.
The oversight committee found that the "corruption" excuse was a lie, and instead that the person who "complied" with the requirement to hand over video opted to not download the most important 2hrs that would prove definitely either way if she was drugged and raped.
After being stonewalled and lied to by the precient for 2.5 years, she went to the press and suddenly the oversight committee started to do its job. After all the time that has passed, the data has likely been overwritten normally for too long to recover it.
The cops got exactly what they wanted. Some of them drugged and raped her, then the others covered it up by intentionally failing to do their jobs, lying about it over and over again for years, and letting time take its course. The oversight committee helped out by ignoring her complaint until the government and press forced it to act, and now is slow rolling the investigation to make sure that nothing happens to the rapist cops and their enablers.
As always, even in the UK, ACAB.
"Mistakes" happen far to often not to be intentional.
