Here we go again: Another Baltimore Police body cam allegedly shows drugs being planted

‘The Baltimore Police Department have launched an investigation after body cam footage allegedly showed officers planting evidence at the scene of a crime. It’s the second such probe in two weeks.
Josh Insley, a local defense attorney, gave the footage to the Baltimore Sun Tuesday, which he said shows officers “engage in what appears to be a staged recovery of narcotics.”
The footage shows seven officers searching the car of Insley’s client, Shamere Collins, on Nov. 29, 2016. Halfway through the footage, the officer is seen turning off his body camera. When the footage is turned back on, the officers quickly find bags of heroin and marijuana where an officer was searching previously.
The Maryland Public Defender’s Office (OPD) confirmed the video’s existence Monday when announcing drug charges against Collins were being dropped. The OPD said the footage “appears to depict multiple officers working together to manufacture evidence.”’
