Monday afternoon, local news station KOMO sued the Seattle Police Department over refusal to release department records -- specifically, KOMO has been trying for over a year to gain access to the department's archive of dashcam videos. Last night, KOMO reported that SPD has apparently lost over 45,000 of them over the past three years. How severe is this loss? It's a huge chunk of their archive. KOMO says that one month in 2008, "more than 14,000 videos disappeared in less than two days...that represented about 22 percent of all videos in the system at the time." more ›
