Chicago Police Have Been Sabotaging Their Dash Cams

[Dont Taz Me Bro]

The Chicago PD has to be the most corrupt police force in this country.

After the notorious video of Laquan McDonald getting shot by Chicago police officers 16 times went viral last November, investigators have been making their way through the other videos of the scene. In doing so, they've discovered that three of the dash cams pointed at McDonald that day did not record video, and others had no audio. Now a Chicago Police Department audit reveals that many of the department's dashboard cameras have been deliberately sabotaged.

Last month the CPD found that 80 percent of its 850 dash cams do not record audio, and 12 percent don’t record video either. The CPD has blamed the failures on "operator error or in some cases intentional destruction," and a close reading of that review by DNAinfo Chicagoreveals the extent of the latter. Officers frequently tampered with dash cams, stashing microphones in their glove boxes or pulling out batteries. Some dash cams were found with their antennae deliberately destroyed, and others had had their microphones removed altogether.

Not just Chicago.

Law enforcement gunning down blacks is practically a tradition in much of the US. The only difference that now we have video proof of their crimes.

Not that it will get any more cops convicted.

Makes one wonder why progressives only want the cops to have guns doesn't it....

Once again....

Cops kill more whites than blacks
The % of cops who shoot a black person are incredibly low. 0.1% for all races. Probably 0.03% for blacks.

A tradition hahaha?? It's quite rare.

That's just the Chicago way of doing things. I read they just had a guy in jail took his pledge to serve in Government once he gets out I guess.

just where Obama came out of and he was just as snaky, corrupted and a liar

 

[bucs90]

They should fire any cops who deliberately disabled their cameras though.

Don't know how the hell they don't fire them.....oh shit....that's right......the union.

Liberals you enabled these bad cops to keep their jobs with your pro union bullshit.

McDonald was not shot 16 times. That is another lie from Big Lib.

 

[ShootSpeeders]

As long as whites have to give welfare and affirmative action to blacks, we don't want to hear any complaints from blacks about anything.

Lol, no duh, Captain obvious.

They are in the most corrupt city in the USA, run by the most corrupt political machine.

And that is the political machine that spawned Barak "Kill Me Sum White Boys" Obama.

Disabling an in-car cameras should be made impossible...put one on the pushbar, two or three in the lightbar, hardwire them into the car's electrical system...they should stream to the cloud in real-time. (A $80 phone can do that, an in-car camera sure as hell can.) Deactivating one in any way, shape, or form should be a felony.

All cops should be legally required to wear body cameras, and deactivating those should ALSO be a felony.

 

[Mad Scientist]

What? No way!

I thought they were here to "Protect and Serve" us!

Black folks should stop committing most of the crimes in this country.

BTW, more white people are killed by cops than black people.
