“Kidder said one of his relatives gave him the body camera to use at work after what happened in Ferguson. Harvey said he’s hoping to find funding to get them for the rest of his officers.”
He’s trading his life for a potential lawsuit. I agree, look for another line of work.
One thing nobody realizes is that the video works both ways.
There have been some good arrests with body cams, because when the cops come into a place to arrest people on whatever the charge may be, the cams also film everything from drugs spread all over the place to what was clearly child porn on the TV.
Some civil rights group is actually filing suit against the cams...on behalf of the criminals, not the cops.
