“He told me give me your phone, or delete the video or I’m going to take your phone as evidence.” The man says he asked the officer if it was illegal for him to record. He says the officer did not answer the question. “He says just delete it. I’m like okay. I grabbed my friend’s phone and I deleted it. And I showed it to him. He said thank you very much. He checked it to make sure it was gone. He said thank you very much and he left.” Former United States Attorney and State Attorney General Dennis C. Vacco has prosecuted his share of cases. He says unless the phone was used in the commission of a crime he doesn’t see any justification for police to make that demand. “The fact of the matter is that the request to turn over the phone or delete the images is clear evidence in my view that the requesting officer was attempting to cover up his conduct,” Vacco says. What’s more, Vacco says he thinks that such a demand could be used as evidence in a criminal investigation – if it’s determined that excessive force was used.
