After taking away Muhlafi’s cellphone — and the damning video on it — Lt. Robert Cook and Officer Timothy Ballard locked the him in the back of a police car for the next four hours, the lawsuit claims. The only time Muhlafi was let out was when he had to use the restroom.


“The officers would not allow Mr. Muflahi to use the restroom inside of his business establishment and he was escorted to the side of his building and forced to relieve himself right there within arm distance of a BPRD officer and in full view of the public,” the lawsuit states.

During the four hours inside a cop car and another two hours at police headquarters, Muhlafi was allegedly prevented from making a phone call to his family or an attorney

1. Oh, their own search-warrant makes it clear that it was written after-the-fact.

The warrant states that “the purpose and reason for the search is to find and seize the item(s) listed above,” referring to “Video Surveillance from the Digital Video Recorder.” It continues, “You are hearby ordered to search the aforesaid Revo Digital Video Recorder ...and if the thing(s) specified are found there, to seize them and hold them in safe custody pending further orders from the court.”

How did the police know the brand of recorder without already searching the back room where it was kept? Porter asked.

2. Install ACLU's "Mobile Justice" App on Android or iOS ...

ACLU has an app called "Mobile Justice" - for both Android & iOS platforms.
https://www.aclu.org/feature/aclu-apps-record-police-conduct

While you record a video of an incident, it automatically & simultaneously is sending it to ACLU.
If you're able (i.e., your phone is not confiscated) you can add Report details after recording

Unfortunately it's currently only available to work in 17 states and the District of Columbia.

Here's a video from ACLU on how it works:
