Like every psychopath that rises to power, BO cares only about what furthers his personal satisfaction. He is the model of organized crime bosses since the time of Marxism’s inception. He is a killer at heart should it fit his goals.

The fact that Officer Wilson and the Ferguson Police department had just received these personal cameras, but had not yet put them in the field is too bad.

Or is it? I believe that even video evidence of Mike Brown punching the cop, trying to grab his gun, and then being justifiably shot would not be enough for the savages to pull up their pants and stop the looting and rioting.

Really? Seems to me that reply is appropriate for any and all threads.

Maybe the wrong thread, but you’re still correct.

Could ask the company that designed the GoPro to develop one that turns on and starts recording when the charging cable is disconnected.

Could have it so that the cable is connected to the car, and when they jump out, there’s no no clip or locking mechanism to hold the cable securely; something happens, cop jumps out, cable comes out, and it starts recording. Could also have wifi built in for a backup. And, there could be loud chimes to let them know its powered on and recording.

What if it activated and deactivated based on the seat belt in the patrol car?

Undo seat belt - body cameras turn on.
Put on seat belt - body cameras turn off.

Would that work?

The problem with that first system, other than the difficulty of storing the video tapes, was not a problem with the system itself, but rather in getting the cops to accept it. The big brother rumors were flying like crazy.

Damn straight it's Big Brother. Citizens can beef about invasion of privacy, somebody who's allowed to drag me off to jail or shoot me can't. Every part of our legal system, from the street to the courtroom to the jail, is worthy of oversight.

Why would I want to talk to a cop when everything is recorded?

I think I want my lawyer now.....

The flip side of that is that the officers will be more professional if they know they are being recorded.

Intimidating people into “voluntary” searches would certainly be harder.

I have become desensitized to violence, I guess. I have no feelings when I see a thug getting shot by a police officer while trying to stab an innocent women. (See link of 2 different on body camera videos of this pos getting shot with a knife in his hand)

I am fed up with the thuggery. I am all for the police on body cameras, it will backfire on the civil rights pimps just like their outcry for dash cameras did.

That would have to be a wireless system. Dunno how well it would work. There’s always the chance for failure with electronics.

Each one would have to be tested multiple times before being sent off from the factory.

I strongly favor making Barky wear a body camera.

“This begs the question, when is the camera supposed to be active and when is the officer allowed to turn it off? “

Every second you’re on duty. That includes in the head. Turning it off for any reason should be a no mercy “you’re fired” offense.

A revolting thought; BO with a body camera. Can you imagine waking up with an ape like Moochie in your bed.

That's uncalled for.

Self-government is a nontrivial burden.
