because they usually are psychopaths, or have some other metal thing going on. They want to film it because subconsciously they enjoy what they are doing and they want to experience it again.

Scenario:

Guy A : "I totally stabbed Johnny to death last night"
Guy B : In shocked tone of disbelief "You didn't"
Guy A : "Nah, I totally did, check out this video of me doing it"

This both implies the stupidity of doing so, in misunderstanding the intonation and meaning of his friend, but also his attempt to earn street cred by proving to his friends that he stabbed Johnny to death.

A person commiting a crime is hardly the type of person who you expect to rationalize an action.

For terror, to watch it later, or for proof. I saw a video where i think they were cops, shoved a stick down a rapists anus. they filmed it for all those reasons.

This. Prime example are the young men who brutally killed that guy, filmed it all, while showing their bare faces, license plate number on their car, and the location of the crime.

People would be surprised of the laws on the books of their home states if they looked into them.
