Interestingly there are articles out today about use of body cameras by police citing a Cambridge study of a year long trial in Rialto, CA
Putting cameras on officers reduced the number of incidents in which force was used by 59%. The number of complaints about force fell an even greater amount
IMHO. The results would be the about the same elsewhere if the cops knew they were being recorded. It’s the same reason the LAPD had such a high degree of disabled antennas on their recorders for the car. Te police don’t want to be recorded because them whatever they say is assume to be true
We are trusting them with a gun and a decision to potentially kill someone having a camera to verify isn’t too much too ask
