Correct me if I'm wrong, but when all this began and Null was soliciting funds, we had been told that the fee was for processing and redacting everything sensitive from the video. This was known to the forum at large, and the understanding based on the information received from the County was that the video would be released once the case was no longer active and the processing had been completed. The argument about whether it could be released happened after funds had already been collected.
How is that a scam? Shit, the only real difference from the Vic fundraiser is that I'm not ashamed to have contributed for the bodycam footage.
