I doubt the body camera picks up everything that occurs (maybe stuff happens prior to the camera engaging, things happen outside the camera's POV, etc.), so if the body camera video matches what the officer's report states, the more likely the portions (if any) of the report which happen off-camera are believable?



Not being sarcastic but you are saying that if his report matches the video then he can get away with telling lies about stuff not on the video? Is that right?

Not at all.

Rather, if the video portions match the officer's report, then any portions not caught on video are more likely to be believed.

I think this is why people want an office to file his report prior to watching the video; to avoid having an officer use the video to help him/her "remember" what happened.
