I actually wanted to put this in the "Dumbest thing heard" thread.
Article LinkA B.C. man has seized two surveillance cameras he says RCMP had hidden in trees near his trailer home, and they are full of images from crime scenes and investigations.
Dion Nordick of Grand Forks told CBC News on Tuesday he found the motion-activated cameras in June, in trees overlooking the trailer he rents. They are now in his lawyer's possession.
Nordick said he took the cameras down, removed the memory cards inside, and found pictures of himself and his friends coming and going from his trailer among the 200 images on the cameras.
There were also pictures of drug busts, suicides and assaults, "and it looked like they just hadn't been erased off the card,” said Nordick.
He said he saw a photo of a dead body and images of a woman who was the apparent victim of an assault.
“That corpse that I viewed is someone's loved one. Those pictures of that woman standing in her brassiere, covered in bruises — she probably had a hard time letting the police take those pictures. She probably had a hard time going to the police,” said Nordick.
The cameras even had pictures of police installing the devices in the trees.
He said he was alerted to the cameras because they used a flash when they were filming.

“The fact that someone has committed a criminal act and stolen our cameras certainly is, I guess, a concern for RCMP and for our investigators,” said Sgt. Dan Seibel.
More at linkStolen? But they were just hanging in trees on
private property. Sounds like pretty shoddy work to me.
