Last year I helped set up a digital video conference for police departments who used COBAN technology, a local dash mounted video camera maker. We watched an extremely disturbing dash mounted video camera scene where in a man who is caught in the country making meth, beats up and eventually kills a police officer who was trying to arrest him. The entire fight was caught in front of the camera and lasted for fifteen minutes. It was horrifying. We had several others like it, includeing high speed crashes caught on tape that killed the officers, and some that showed police missconduct.
My idea was to have a flunky for a dash mounted video camera maker who goes around to different departments to help them with their videos. He sees from one department that they are trying to hide a very high level murder that one of their officers was involved in. Naturally he doesn't know who to turn to and he is eager to extricate himself from the situation, but the department heads learn that he knows what is going on and the full force of the department is arrayed against our main character as he tries to escape. I would throw a partner into it who gets killed and maybe the original victims family would be involved. It would require quite a bit more development, but I think it would be interesting and I could leverage my dash cam experience.
