No dashcams in Ferguson: One less tool in Michael Brown shooting investigation
Dashboard cam videos like this one have often played a role in documenting interactions between law enforcement and citizens. When those interactions go terribly wrong, as was the case in the shooting death of Ferguson, Missouri, teenager Michael Brown, it seems logical to ask: Where is the video?
There is none, Ferguson's police chief said.
Thomas Jackson says his department has 18 patrol cars. This spring, the department purchased two dashboard cameras and two wearable body cameras, but the equipment hasn't been installed because the department doesn't have the money to cover that cost, he said.
Thanks. Can’t find it in the docs so I wonder how they were budgeted and procured.
Don’t know if you have noticed it, but post #131 should answer your original question.
