Without video evidence, it is likely that police misconduct would probably not as known or understood in the world. Since the emergence of portable video recording, there are tens of thousands of recordings documenting police misconduct. Many of these videos are featured on YouTube. Every video recording of important police activity - can at some point - become an audit video. Audit videos and audios - record police investigating, detaining people, and often drinking, sleeping or even having sex on the job. Such videos have been used to expose widespread payroll fraud and abuse and wrongful prosecution. Every recording of police activity can help to audit of certain officers, agencies, prosecutors, judges and other officials.
YouTube provides a selection of thousands of video audits of policeman stopping, dialoging, detaining, arresting, physically restraining, handcuffing and physically beating, tasing, pepper-spraying and shooting citizens. These often unedited videos are a shocking reminder of how violent police are towards citizens, and they often document incidents that are not documented in arrest reports. Some YouTube content creators actually summarize the law in some of the audit videos. Thousands of law enforcement officers have been disciplined, fired and even prosecuted because of videos. Some have been prosecuted and punished. The videos also help citizens who file complaints and/or take legal action against the offending officer or agency.
NoCitizenLeftBehind.com hopes to publish the largest collection of video audits. We will setup a fund to pay rewards for qualifying videos. We will also help connect those who record the videos to cities, counties and states that pay citizens rewards for reporting crime. It is our goal to allow public access to all official videos, push for standards on the creation, protection and release of police recordings, and provide for independent audits of every video where a person is killed or injured.
In addition, we will provide free online training to all -- on the best ways to conduct video audits of officials. We'll establish a library of police contact, and publish the videos on this Web site, so that every citizen thinking about visiting a particular town or city - can research into how they treat citizens. The library will serve as a resource for citizens researching the behavior of troubled police representatives and agencies. Insurance companies, city leaders, elected officials, including challengers to the current leadership.
