A Baltimore cop, identified as Richard Pinheiro, was recorded on video planting drugs then "finding" them moments later - in front of two other unnamed cops. The video was made possible due to Pinheiro's body camera being designed to keep the 30 seconds of video prior to it being "switched on".
Charges against the civilian suspect have been dropped; no word yet on any criminal charges against any of the three cops.

I'm not unclear. Go call the police station and remind them. One of the linked articles has a presentation on their theory why this is a far more complex issue than just planted drugs. I agree with you that that's all bullshit.
