He needs to film.
Don't you know the rest of the story. How the police tried to defame Egan, made statements in court about what he was doing and saying, and accused him of going on a racial rant. Everyone believed it, it seemed consistent with the Egan personality. If it wasn't for the fact that he was filming and audio-taping the premises, he would have never won that case against the police. He never did or said what they accused him of, and HE PROVED IT IN COURT.
Oh, by the way, that was before all the nonsense going on with the police became big news. All the lawsuits, and finally the removal of the chief. Really, it was Egan who first exposed Hackensack's "police nonsense". He started it all. Go EGAN !!!!!!
When I wake up every day, the very first thing I do is read The Record to find out the latest on the Zisa trial. Such anticipation, and it's every single day. It reminds me of Christmas morning when I was kid.
