Don’t they have body cams?
7 states require them right now. Thats it. Most are still fighting saying that if the police are on camera they can’t do their job.
It’s not a perfect solution either. There have been plenty of instances where cops “forget to turn on” or “accidently block” their cams. Even cases where, mysteriously, the cams are “accidentally” damaged or the data “corrupted”.
Unfortunately seems like the only defense for these cases is livestreaming police interactions.
Cop unions should be illegal. (All other unions are fine)
All unions should be as good as cops unions. It’s funny how the government is fighting against unions, but they themselves have unions.
Well, when your job is to menace the communities you are supposedly charged with protecting, all that extra attention can really be a bother.
Rarely, yes, but the technology to create a body cam that functions reliably when near police officers hasn’t been developed yet.
Current models waste space, weight, and durability by including an “off” button.
You mean the broken once or those with empty batteries?
“Mildly?”
You mean recording?
