The Lo-fo’s will think any resulting videos are faked or photoshopped, so it won’t make any difference, IMO...

Works both ways. The perp knows he’s on film, too.

Not sure I really see a downside of this.... I think in todays technological world it only makes sense and protects the Police as well as the Citizens. If Officer Wilson had been wearing one, there is a good chance we would not have been seeing riots the past 10 nights... Maybe not but he would have something to prove or disprove his story right away.

The effect of third-party observers on behavior has long been known: Thomas Jefferson once advised that "whenever you do a thing, act as if all the world were watching."

It's been known longer than that...

1 Thessalonians 5:22

Abstain from all appearance of evil.

It's been known longer than that...

Job 34:21
His eyes are on the ways of mortals; he sees their every step.

In the first year after the cameras' introduction, the use of force by officers declined 60%, and citizen complaints against police fell 88%.

Any logical person would conclude from this data that the officers were knowingly using force inappropriately before the cameras were used.

Cops hate them. Masaad Ayoob suggested that they wear cameras ten years ago, but most cops don’t want to have their actions on record.

Even though it will protect them. Makes me rather suspicious

[KingLudd]

They should do it for the dogs.
