It’s actually not – if we can capture the activity on video, I think most judges will look at an officer’s testimony and video and if those two things disagree, it’s difficult for a judge to say, “Well, the video must be wrong.” It’s easier to say the officer’s recollection may be wrong or that he may be mistaken or I suppose in extreme circumstances that he just made it all up.
