--- From: jerryat_private To: <declanat_private> Subject: swedish police files complaint against themselves Date: Sun, 2 Dec 2001 01:19:37 +0100 interesting article re Video Evidence in belgium newspaper; http://www.standaard.be/nieuws/buitenland/index.asp?doctype=detail.asp &ArticleID=DST01122001_034 (in Dutch) re. http://www.svt.se/granskning/reportage.asp?S=744&A=744 (Swedish) quick translation; swedish police filed a complaint against themselves after a sewdish TV show revealed that police used manipulated video footage as evidence. The TV show Uppdrag Granskning [http://www.svt.se/granskning/] compared its own footage with the evidence used by the attorney general. The comparison shows that images were swapped, sound was edited, and police brutality cut out. Scenes where 19 year old Hannes Westberg gets shot in the belly have been tampered with. PS the complaint is about copyights and abuse of power.
