Federally mandated Cameras for cops

[Plasmaball]

So.....we have some riots going on, we have story after story of cops being dicks when cameras are put on them and they dont seem to know it. So why not take a few billion, ( we don't need tanks so cut that out of the budget) and produce enough dash and body cameras for the police.
It would be an extremely easy fix and we wouldnt have brown cases popping up. Or is this just going to get a bunch of state right posts? We have no problem selling armored tanks to local small time Law enforcement, so why not give them some cameras?

All police should wear camera's and if the camera is turned off during an incident that later goes to court the fact that the camera was off should serve as evidence against the officer.

i agree...i m just spitballing how to get those cameras onto those cops. it would be a small fix, but it might help.

Yes. If the NSA can watch all of us, then we should be able to watch all of them.

Let the old Jewish Law of Eye for an Eye and a Tooth for a Tooth be enforced.

It wouldn't help and might make things worse. There was a film of Mike Brown robbing the convenience store and throttling the clerk. That was character assassination. There was a body cam film of the entire incident between Danielle Watts getting arrested for lewdness and the cop who arrested her. It didn't help. The cop was fired for "filming" her.

If we are prepared not to believe the films what difference does it make if they exist.

How many satellites do you own and operate for spying?

They would need to hire too many replacement cops. From what I hear almost half of the cops are racist and joined primarily because the KKK is going out of business.

sure if we ignore where they do have body cameras and issues have dropped by 80%...but you are on the right track!

What does that even mean? Do you huff paint thinner before every post?

 

[Luddly Neddite]

I recently read that where these cameras are in use, there is no police brutality. We also know that police are killing more people now.

All that money they're using for tanks could be better spent to "serve and protect".

It's a sensible idea. My cousin, who is a cop, thinks it is an outstanding idea, because it also protects the cops.

exactly, which is why i think Obama should call on congress to act. Cut some aid to Israel and pay for it that way

No, the cop was fired for leaking the tape to TMZ.

I know you like to make shit up, but let's keep it in the realm of reality.

So we shouldn't put cameras on cops because then we would have to replace the ones causing problems?

Federally mandated Cameras for cops

You would have had me if it wasn't for the "federally mandated" shit. I'm sick and tired of people trying to give the federal government more power every time we identify a real problem or manufacture an imaginary one.

This can be done on the local level. If the people want Barney Fife wearing a camera, they should get it on the local ballot or make a lot of noise at the city council meetings and get it done.
