they arrested me because they said i had bben seen on camera dropping a baggie with meth in it. i told them to show me the video and they wouldnt. When bcsd arrived they went back and watched the video. now i have the videos, and at best the only thing they have is a whit fuzzy unidentifiable object, after bcsd watched the video they placed me under arrest. there is nothing dropping in fact when you slow the video down what you see is the keyboard and mouse operator moving the mouse around my feet, trying to make the cursor look like something is falling. the videos wont authenticate. they said that they had eyewitnesses, but they had to backtrack the video to find me and they past up a bunch of other races, to gert to me. is that discrimination?

- In New Jersey, video evidence must be authentic and reliable to be admissible in court.
- If you believe racial discrimination influenced your arrest, it could be a violation of your civil rights.
