I've got no problem with cops wearing cameras, but it's not a sufficient replacement for the people recording interactions as well.More and more cops are realizing the camera is their friend, as more and more show how unhinged the people cops deal with are.
Getting bodycams to be mandated requires at the federal level legislation, agreement with the worker's union in question, and procedures and policies from the agencies in question. You just can't one day decide "you guys have to wear cameras"
When cops are under total control of the cameras, they can be used to support their agenda. Release what is beneficial, suppress what is harmful.
The more control cops get, the less accountability they have and the more open for corruption.
yeah and thats good when they decide to show them unedited.
