Why not share footage online?
Police request not to share footage of incidents like this because it can hinder their investigation. It might compromise evidence, intimidate witnesses, or even prejudice a future trial. Unauthorised dissemination of such material could also constitute an offence, potentially leading to a prison sentence for those sharing it.
