The vast majority of the leaked footage appears to come from the Dallas Police Department. In response to three screenshots from the leak, DPD public information officer Brian Martinez wrote in an email that “the pictures show screenshots of video from the department helicopter.”
A smaller subset of the data appears to come from the greater Atlanta area. The Atlanta Police Department told WIRED that the footage was not from its jurisdiction. Georgia State Patrol did not respond to WIRED’s request for comment by publication. GSP’s Aviation Division has 15 helicopters and one Cessna 182 airplane used for operations that include search-and-rescue missions. On its website the division lists other activities, including “aerial photography” and “aerial surveillance.”
In the case of the leaked helicopter video, Best notes that much of the footage is time-stamped from 2019 and that retention limits should be a crucial priority for police departments.

May have been a honeypot. Just transferring that amount of data between mechanical drives takes days.
Then it's gone so quickly means that either no one or very few were able to download it all. If I were looking for a way to find targets, this sounds like it might be a good way to do it.

There's a magnet link. Theres likely nothing of such importance that they (the people with the resources to) are willing to take the steps needed to end it at this point. I didn't even have my VPN loaded when I clicked it if it tells you how concerned I am.
There are three files, two smaller files and then 1.7tb from Dallas. Speed it was at put it at 20 weeks to finish, but I'm on my phone and have limited connection. I would dl the 30gb file and see if it's worth doing the rest.
