When I asked about reviewing the on-board footage for myself, he said that I cannot gain access to it while the investigation is ongoing because it's considered evidence. Once the investigation is complete, he said I may need a lawyer to issue a subpoena for it.

And perhaps more of us cyclists should start using helmet cams and compact flash recorders. I'm thinking of putting one together myself.

I can't offer up much in the way of law knowledge on what to do when bored cops decide it's the right time to flex their power but I will encourage you to continue to pursue the matter through necessary (if obviously frustrating) channels. Perhaps think about taking it to the next level above the PD... like some sort of police commission or committee. BH City Council, maybe? Come to think of it if I recall correctly Stephen Box not too long ago had a distasteful encounter with a BHPD officer and ended up speaking before some sort of public body within that city. If he doesn't check in to read your post you might want to contact him directly. Given how my friend Steve was recently harassed by cops in Vernon this past weekend I can empathize with your outrage.
