I don't understand how these cameras can even be turned off.
Video from was captured by a surveillance camera on a nearby bank:

Not much different from how drug sniffing dogs are used as excuses to search cars by responding to cues from the cop instead of what they smell.
Not to defend the cop, just saying Google's UI sucks.
Also to be fair, you're only watching Matt Walsh or transphobic content if you looked for it.
@emmavigeland.bsky.social Holy moly.
Just sayin'.

Where I'm at he wouldn't even get a ticket, and the Mayor would award him the key to the city for enduring the trauma of a cyclist denting his cruiser grill.
Carbrain rules Amurca.

But he will never serve time and will continue to work in law enforcement.
I want to know if it was a work tablet, and if he was using the work data connection in the car. Because that's another good reason to fire him.
Meanwhile, HR can dump him next week.
Which is going to hurt when he goes to court for manslaughter.
