Claim 18:
19. A method of extending retention periods of records, the method comprising:
determining, at an electronic computing device, that a first video stream captured by an untrusted camera is marked as an evidentiary material, the first video stream associated with metadata identifying a time and location at which the first video stream was captured by the untrusted camera;
identifying, at the electronic computing device, a second video stream captured by a trusted camera substantially at the same time and location at which the first video stream was captured by the untrusted camera;
determining, at the electronic computing device, that the second video stream captured by the trusted camera is marked for deletion after a retention period assigned to the second video stream;
detecting, at the electronic computing device, one or more persons or objects in the first video stream captured by the untrusted camera;
determining, at the electronic computing device, whether the one or more persons or objects correlate with one or more persons or objects detected in the second video stream captured by the trusted camera;
extending the retention period assigned to the second video stream captured by the trusted camera when it is determined that the one or more persons or objects detected in the first video stream captured by the untrusted camera correlate with the one or more persons or objects detected in the second video stream captured by the trusted camera; and
deleting the second video stream in accordance with the extended retention period.
