You would think cops would WANT to have a good record for evidence...
It is absolutely stunning to me how many of them are AGAINST it.
I programmed a vehicle locator system for the local country- they acted like I was their enemy or something.
In their eyes you are an enemy, the police have an “US against them” mentality.
“You would think cops would WANT to have a good record for evidence...”
When you know you can violate the law and the courts will take your word as a higher standard of evidence than other testimony, no you don’t want to have other evidence that can contradict that.
You just took away their ability to drive out of their zone at whim, and made them accountable for any divergence from what their superiors have ordered them to do. They can't lie about where they are if they don't want to take a call (such as a domestic) or if they would rather be doing something else.
Beyond that, nobody likes being watched even if they have no intention of doing anything wrong. It makes them worry that they might slip someday and get in big trouble for it.
Actual police officers want proof of the crimes of the people they’re arresting. They want video cameras to ensure evidence of a crime.
Criminal thugs with badges don’t want evidence of their crimes lest THEY be arrested. They HATE cameras because they ensure evidence of a crime.
There was a shooting in Oregon the other night where the truth about what law enforcement-FBI or State Police-did to Robert “LaVoy” Finicum.
