I would imagine that those trusted to be on the board or appointed by 
the board would have a level of trust to not retain any recordings past 
a date when we know a theft hasn't occurred.  It would also assist when 
dealing with sleepers so that we are not afraid of them due to there 
being video evidence of any assault.

So basically, your concerns are valid, but not really in this context as 
we already have trust.
