Information for the Rekieta Bodycam Request

  • 🐕 I am attempting to get the site runnning as fast as possible. If you are experiencing slow page load times, please report it.
Sorry, not sure if this goes here, but just as a heads up, EWU just released a video of a 2023 Minnesota crime about a man firing on cops. It's all bodycam. I hope the relevance is obvious. They got bodycam out of MN and have applied for it in Rekieta's case. White Bear Lake, which appears to be an outer suburb of Minneapolis.
Bodycam footage of police shootings have their own exception in the MN Data Privacy law and are always public.

"Data that record, describe, or otherwise document actions and circumstances surrounding either the discharge of a firearm by a peace officer in the course of duty[...] are public."
 
Well... I'm not sure if this thread still needs updates, but just to be safe, I'll go ahead and post more clips I've dug up since.

February 28, 2025: Bodycam shows cops touching kids hair, after handling the cocaine

One, why would you waste cocaine on a child? Like it doesn't make any sense. Just think about it from the addict mentality if you have to. But I do, I do actually have footage of two officers who had just come into contact with cocaine, touching that child's hair that's on the body cam footage.

February 28, 2025: A bullet of cocaine disappeared... maybe up a nose

The two ounces from the top of the fridge did disappear. It's gone. [...] I'm not joking. It's not in discovery anywhere. There are no photos of that. They're on bodycam footage. They open it up and you can see that there's, it's full of cocaine. They closed the thing back up, but they didn't want, they're running out of drug tests, the field tests. And so they're, which are expensive. So they're like, we'll just take it back to the station and test it. [...] I got the pictures of all of the, all of the recovered stuff and that exhibit, it's exhibit two. There is no cocaine. There's no cocaine associated with that bullet. It's nowhere to be found. It's amazing. Like, there's allegedly two ounces of cocaine and that thing and, uh, and it just, it's just vanished. Like, maybe up a nose or two.

February 28, 2025: The cop touched my kids hair after handling cocaine

Cop with his gloves, touches my daughter's hair on body cam right after coming out of that bathroom. Like you did not take his gloves off. You didn't wash them. All of this is there. I have to put it all together because it's multiple body cams to see it.

February 29, 2025: Cocaine over the nightstand disappeared

So the cocaine that was sitting on the nightstand is gone. Yeah. It doesn't exist. [...] So on the body cam footage, they opened the container. It was on the nightstand and it's full. I didn't know it was full. Like I didn't remember. But it is full of cocaine. And then they closed it up and they're like, well, we've, you know, our testing kits were running low on them and they're expensive. So we'll test it back. [...] They're like, we'll take this back to the station and check it there. So I get the evidence photos... and the canister is empty. And they're like, oh, there's two grams of cocaine and it's like, where is it? It doesn't exist anywhere. No one knows where this cocaine went.

February 29, 2025: The cops are contaminating everything with coke!

They take this safe outside of the house. It's in this, it's in our ensuite bathroom. And they take it all the way through the house, outside the house. They open the safe, they're like, oh, there's drugs in here, we better take this right back inside. And then they take it into the front bathroom. And they like take it out and it's like... you guys are spilling all the drugs all over the place.
