You may remember the latest incident at the Judge Rotenberg Center where two teenagers were shocked an ungodly number of times based on 'orders' from a former student at the center. Well, the state's Disabled Person Protection Commission asked to see the videotapes that the center had made of the events at the house where the students lived. The center refused because they feared adverse publicity. The Commission 'directed' the center to retain the tapes as there would be a State Police investigation. The Center destroyed the tapes, which leads one to ask the question of what the center was trying to hide.
It is possible that the PR fallout from the destruction of the tapes may be worse than that which would have resulted from keeping the tapes.

Dr. Israel has openly declared he is not bound by the laws against torture and defends the JRC for distroying videos of the act because they might hit the media.
I was about to make the same comparison, but 'anonymous' beat me to it.
