Don't police cars have cameras in them? That should be the only witness you need.

I mean, the SIU would find it highly suspicious if the camera footage was "lost", deleted, or tampered with. They'd automatically assume the officer did something wrong, so it's more for their protection than it is for public safety.

Doesn't Canada have the concept that destroyed or lost evidence indicates the evidence was contrary to the interests of the party that didn't produce it?
