I'm disturbed by the fact that someone thinks the first thing to do with evidence of a crime is upload it to YouTube to show random internet users. What??? Why on Earth would anyone think that?

Give it to the cops.
How do you know that both didn't happen. I know it did in the case of the video I shared on this thread.
I was wondering this morning, laying in bed & daydreaming prior to the beginning of the day: what if I someday come up on a shooting or something right in front of me and I catch it all on my dashcam? Aside from crapping my shorts and getting out of there as soon as possible, what should I do with the video? It will be evidence in a crime scene.
I would like to (as) anonymously (as possible) upload it online & allow the world to see it. Or is there something different I have to do? Do I send it to the local police department? They don't need the original device or memory card, do they? I can just e-mail it to them.
What would be better: just uploading it on the Internet or sending it to a specific individual or agency?
If a video is public and it is used in a trial, I've heard that there may be tainted juries or the like based on whether or not someone had an opinion formed due to having watched the video before the trial. Or is that just a load of bunk and it doesn't affect anyone?
What would you do: upload it online as quickly as possible or just send it to the local agency?
Call the police immediately and make sure your device saves the video
I'd probably make a copy and give it to the cops. I don't think the local news would pay a lot for it unless it was a national news story. (someone famous getting shot)
All depends on who's doing the shooting. If it's the cops shooting someone unarmed, I think I'd turn it over to the news. In any case I'd download it to my computer, so the original doesn't get "lost".
Something doesn't look right about this. The driver of the blue car in the left lane is 'hugging' the line and the driver in the white car in the right lane seems to be hugging the shoulder. You would think one of them would have freaked out and swerved when the car came between them.

Blame the victim syndrome?
BTW, the lane splitter got charged with what is a felony charge equivalent in Canada. He can well end up with jail time. Five years in fact.

Why would they swerve? I've had cars come up super fast on my side and I didn't need to swerve.
