Sarcasm doesn't work on anonymous forums. Nobody knows who you are or has any context for you; if a post isn't able to stand individually in a zero-trust environment, then you can't complain when others misunderstand. Sarcasm only works if you're amongst people who know you.

I hope you'll forgive me being sceptical that "used these systems" is enough authority to be able to speak for every make and model on the market... I've also used a few CCTV systems over the years and they've all been absolute lowest-bidder no-name dogshit that were packed full of weird idiosyncrasies.
Again it comes back to the "how many people would you need to cover this up" thing - if the security systems in this prison genuinely did not cut their files at midnight, the number of people that would have to keep quiet about it is staggering; you'd need to not only swear all the guards to secrecy but also the people who made and sold them the system (whose reputation is being impugned, to boot) and anyone else familiar with that system, any one of whom could show up any time with the same model and say look, here's hard physical evidence that what they said about the midnight rollover isn't true.
That said, they really need to release the Epstein Files.
(edit: yeah yeah I knew this would get downvoted for not joining the bandwagon even as I was writing it... go whistle)
Yeah. In order for the whole thing to work you're putting a lot of faith in your ability to get out of there before the DVR files roll over at midnight. It's not just that you'd have to do it in a minute, you'd have to be confident ahead of time of being able to do it and leaving no signs of struggle and also avoid any other cameras placing you unaccountably at that location at that time... all in all if you want the guy dead it's much easier to manipulate another inmate into doing it for you, than to do all this Mission: Impossible shit and still need to hope that the next two governments help you cover it up.
