I cannot believe there is no law in place that requires such recordings to be saved. NASA has copies of stuff from 30 year old satellite missions that no longer orbit the planet. For a sitting president, I'm sure that's SOP, but I'm less sure if this is always the case for candidates on the campaign trail.
July 22, 20241 yr Speaking of the Secret Service https://www.politico.com/news/2024/07/22/dhs-secret-service-january-6-report-00170391 Quote As the Secret Service fields a barrage of investigations on the Trump shooting, it is also set to face the release of a report on another bruising episode: its response to the Jan. 6, 2021, attack on the Capitol. Investigators in the Inspector General’s Office for the Department of Homeland Security — the Secret Service’s parent agency — have finished a long-awaited report on the violence that day and shared it with the Secret Service to review, a standard practice. Questions have persisted about how the various law enforcement agencies protecting the Capitol on Jan. 6 shared intelligence on the danger posed by a crowd of pro-Trump rioters who stormed the building in an effort to prevent the certification of Joe Biden’s electoral victory. Before the violence broke out, Secret Service personnel learned that many Trump supporters chose not to attend a speech Donald Trump gave on the Ellipse when they learned at security checkpoints that their weapons would be confiscated. The Secret Service also faced opprobrium for deleting some text messages its agents sent connected to the day of the attack. The agency claimed that those deletions resulted from a routine systems migration, but Hill Democrats and transparency groups have said the explanation doesn’t hold up. DHS’ Inspector General also drew criticism for the text message disappearances because investigators in that office reportedly learned about the deletions in early 2021 but waited months to tell lawmakers.

You sure do know a lot about, and reflexively defend, incompetent law enforcement. What stuff do they record? Do they routinely record things in the field? Is everything the USSS does in the field, or do they maybe have static operations at fixed locations that allows them to more easily record radio comms? 14 minutes ago, Toastrel said: The secret service carries their comm gear with them, they could have had a mobile command center, and backups are no big deal, these days.

There’s a cost associated with this, and it’s not small. Also oddly enough NASA has lost the tapes on a whole bunch of stuff. For example they kept reusing tapes for Apollo missions and writing over them over and over.

July 22, 20241 yr Just now, DEagle7 said: When recording, what frame rate would be most appropriate? For digital audio, it would be sampling frequency I think. Not sure, more of a cinephile than an audiophile.

For audio, I believe it is a continuous recording and the measure of fidelity is the bit-depth, i.e. 8 bit audio has much less frequency resolution than 64 bit

July 22, 20241 yr Everyone should touch a butt at least once a day, even if it's their own. THIS should be a sign in your living room. Not the overpriced, clichéd sophistry that is the "Live, Laugh, Love" sign hanging over your ridiculous bowl of pointless woven balls.
July 22, 20241 yr 1 hour ago, Toastrel said: No, but either you keep records, or you don't. I would think the secret service deserves archiving. Like I said, that costs money. You have a bunch of digital encrypted presumably full duplex comms. It’s not just like make a cassette tape recording. There’s a ton of data that needs to go with the audio, and everything needs to be pretty much perfect since it would be discoverable in a criminal case. and then what about the local LE that works those events? We recording those comms, too? Because that’s another expensive headache in and of itself. Should they have it? Yeah, it would be nice, but at the same time you’re making a huge investment for something that’s going to be used for a few months every four years.

Everybody does this stuff all the time, and you can rotate tapes or whatever media through in cycles. This just seems nutty to me. We're not talking about the minutes from an USDA meeting here. This is the secret service on a former president. That having that stuff for a couple of weeks is not done is ridiculous. I'd be fired.
