Pretty much.
I prefer to look up budgets and other official documents to verify information rather than take some reporters word, especially when it comes to contentious subjects, like this case or the NDAA (not to thread hijack, but with all the hype about the NDAA I looked up the actual law and it was not at all the threat some made it out to be: http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/news/3185704/posts?page=43#43).
Cheers.
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.
