Sen. Paul Introduces Legislation for Obama's Police Body Cameras

Sen. Rand Paul (R-Ky.) has introduced legislation that gives a nod to President Barack Obama’s call last year for police officers throughout the nation to be equipped with body cameras to hold officers accountable.

Paul, along with Democratic Sen. Brian Schatz of Hawaii, recently unveiled the Police Creating Accountability by Making Effective Recording Available (Police CAMERA) Act of 2015 to create a pilot grant program to help state and local law enforcement purchase the cameras.

A recent study showed that body camera use by officers at one department resulted in a 59 percent reduction in officer use of force and an 87 percent drop in the number of complaints against officers from the previous year.

Good.

This is a good, sensible thing.

It protects both the cop and the accused from unwarranted accusations or out and out lies.

You poor thing you. The troll-devil-thing in you is STRONG!

Ok, let's try it this way.

How about you actually read the OP?

You see, in the OP, both Rand Paul (R-KY) and Brian Schatz (D-HI) are crafting bi-partisan legislation about cop body cams, an indeed that our President indeed did espouse.

You see Stephanie, this could be one bright light in all of this: some bipartisan work on an issue that gets well over 90% support. Which means it is getting support from WE THE PEOPLE.

See how that works?
