FlyerInHi
GuestI need a car with rolling front and rear cameras. Anyone has recommendations on good aftermarket cameras? I want clear pictures and long recording times.

The cops knew that crazy black druggie was out there , but knew you would cry profiling if they dealt with him, so you almost hit him. Maybe if you hit him he would have taken you out of the gene pool? Then you would be crying about why the police didn’t do something about him. Can’t win them all.[/quote]
The message that I’m getting here is: Let the cops take them out before they take you out. Out is sight, out of mind.

You can try to film the cops but I think as this becomes more common they are going to kick the shit out of cameramen. Personally I think it’s way risky. Here a cop assaults an l.a. woman for trying to record them.

As much as I understand the frustration that cops feel when people crowd around them (often shouting insults), and stick cameras in their faces, I agree that it needs to be done. There are definitely abuses out there, and those cops need to be held accountable.

ParticipantUse the ACLU app or anything else that uploads to the cloud. That way, any sort of theft or attack would damn the cops more and open them up to criminal charges.
As far as the frustration, if they’re frustrated about being in the public eye, time to quit and find another job. They’re not required to stay in a given line of work. Don’t like your job? Do something about it. Don’t whine like a little beeyotch and lash out physically like an angry toddler.

cops don’t like being filmed because it’s new and it changes everything. It makes them very vulnerable to exposure where before they could do anything. It’s not frustration. It’s fear. It’s not a few cops feeling it. It’s many.

I know you don’t like big brother creepy technology. But there’s a bright side. Likely within a decade LED outdoor lights, public and private, will be networked and have built-in cameras. So will cars. Unfortunately for them, cops won’t control all the cameras.
The thing to do if someone has a video/audio of an incident is to withhold the evidence for a little while to see what kind of lies people come up with.
April 21, 2015 at 10:08 PM #785096Participant^^^
Yeah, that’s too fucking creepy in the opposite direction. Might make it harder for the average beat cop to get away with things, but makes it easier for the scum running things to spy on people. No thanks.

Participant3000 security personnel at the Boston Marathon yesterday, 30,000 white people chasing 10 skinny black men and nobody got hurt. Man, anywhere there are cops there’s violence.
April 21, 2015 at 10:46 PM #785099ParticipantTalk about govno-mint paranoia after a few idiots killed three people two years ago. What the fuck has this country come to since 9/11?

It doesn’t need to be done and shouldn’t be . Cops don’t like random people encroaching on police business, sure there is some fear of the cameras related to having abuses or mistakes filmed, but even before this technology became ubiquitous
if something was going down they didn’t want people involved, they didn’t want you to dribble a basketball around them. Not necessarily unreasonable. The person could approach with a camera and jump them . The camera people could become hostages or get in the way. Being reasonable, The cameras and persons holding them need to be at a significant distance. Just because the mob is carrying cameras doesn’t put them on the side of fair play. People do not belong right on top of police work especially with the number of hysterical people these days.April 21, 2015 at 11:02 PM #785102ParticipantIf police (who are public servants … that’s right SERVANTS) are uncomfortable with the public, too fucking bad. Time to seek a new job or jump off a tall bridge. Can’t hack the job description … no one drafted them.
And people do belong near enough to film police work, considering the number of outright homicidal and violent cops these days. In many instances, the “mob” is doing the world a great service.
April 21, 2015 at 11:08 PM #785103ParticipantThat’s just over the top, A bunch of random people go to anyone’s job and get in the way, guess what , the cops are going to get called! Why don’t we just crash government hospital surgery rooms and get in the way, fuck it they are public servants. Lets go crash a state college class and not let the teacher teach, fuck it she’s a government servant. Let’s go to court crash up scaredy’s closing arguments to save some poor guys soul, who we think may have killed someone, that’s the people’s courtroom, fuck it, he’s a government servant.
April 21, 2015 at 11:19 PM #785106ParticipantTrials are already public. Typically transcribed and recorded, even in states that still ban news cameras.
Teachers aren’t typically armed and don’t have the power to kill someone essentially at will.
As far as hospitals, most surgery requires the patient’s informed consent, and information on surgeons and doctors is actually available to the public. A bunch of cops jumping on someone, not so much.
Police need special oversight. If they don’t like it, they’re free to find another job. Frankly, the country would be a better place if 50% of them quit, and enforcement was restricted to serious crime due to lack of manpower. Over the top? Maybe. But we’ll have to agree to disagree.
