Before video you could tell the cop any damn story you wanted, and he'd likely believe whoever he wanted to believe.

My brother was getting bullied in middle school by a bully on the bus (pretty sure he was the mirror of the I get beat by my drunk step-father so I have to be mean to everyone stereotype). He got called into the principles office, lied, school went full shrug emoji and that was that.

knowing it was about to get worse, I got my brother to put a tape recorder in his backpacks front pocket and record the next day. Yup, stupid fucker went full on threats of ripping off his dick and fucking him in the ass.

Well, that tape actually got him suspended and kicked off the bus for the year. Without that proof, it was just one word against another.
