I think the don’t want to be sued fr doing their jobs; but in truth I think the devices protect the police and document the crimes against police during stops.
Cause we live in an era where cracking one ethnically insensitive joke could land them on the unemployment line.
Your statement doesn’t make any sense.
If “ the devices protect the police and document the crimes against police during stops” then why in the world would they disable them? The answer is they wouldn’t.
So, if they wouldn’t disable them because the recorders protect them, then the question is..Why are they disabling them?
I think I know the answer. But you first.
Agreed it protects the cops when they are in the right and it protects citizens when cops are in the wrong.
I’m a member of a FB page for cops and they’re encouraging cops to wear (and request) cameras. They’re showing videos where the cop was exonerated from false accusations to drive the point home. (Happens a LOT)
All of the cops want the ability to shut off the camera so they can use the john. I agree that they should have some control, but NOT having the camera on during a contact should be an automatic suspension.
I can't envision someone worried about getting fired or sued for doing their job...Unless their job requires they break the law...
