I thought most cops in big cities had body cameras now.

Last time I was pulled over the Trooper informed me that I was being filmed. I said “That’s OK, so are you.”

We both laughed and went on with our interaction.

“I thought most cops in big cities had body cameras now.”

In large part they do, but the problem is they still retain the ability to turn off or mute their body cam to hide what they do not want to be heard.

I watched one recording where they muted their mics but one officer didn’t get the mute order, and the discussion leaked and involved what charge they they could concoct to avoid releasing a detainee who had broken no laws. They even went around asking other bystanders if they felt offended by anything the detainee has said.
