However they still should keep the microphones/dash cams. Those thwart a good deal of mis-doings. What they really should do is put small cameras at the end of the their guns that take a picture every time the gun is fired. It's impossible to remove and gets uploaded to a cloud thing. It would be far more cost effective and yield the same results. Then just make penalties for not having your mic/dash cam on and recording ridiculous.

Actually body cameras have done a lot of good in departments where they have been implemented. Departments that have instituted body cameras have noted a significant decrease in civil complaints and disciplinary actions against officers. They may very well be the tool that turns around police culture in the US.

a still frame at the moment of shot fired will give a much more ambiguous context than the simple body cam idea
good idea op
but the microphone will be running so unless the police yell "stop resisting" we will definitely catch misconduct better with your system

im afraid the system isnt convoluted enough
can we add more points of failure

cops should bring a bunch of cameras set up at different angles so we can have cool matrix effects when they shoot an unarmed black guy

im conflicted about cops. they kill the people they are sworn to protect, which is good. but by some standards they are considered people, which is bad. since all humans need to die, is it better to have corrupt murderers running around since they kill humans?

Ok new idea. They have cameras on every limb recording everything at all times. And with all the money we save not incarcerating innocent people will pay for it. 360 Degree Camera RoboCops.

Cops need body cameras recording at all times and video is pulled for an incident. We already do it at a lot of public transit agencies on buses and trains why should police be any different?

Also lol kill everyone

All I know is whenever I hear a police department is all like "Oh yeah, cool, body cams, totally good idea, agree 100% implementing them now"

We just need to make laws against resisting police orders and also against hurting people who aren't resisting your orders or endangering someone's life/property.

I don't think many police departments are against body cams. They keep vexatious litigation down.

There's a whole thing about military surplus being given to cops. It's a whole different thing than their abuse.


Ok so. Plan 3. Each cop has a shoulder eagle with a gopro cam on it's head. The eagle stays with them on traffic stops but during chases we can get a birds eye view (heh) of the chase.

for years we have been building tanks just to decommission them and dump them in the desert to rust and its not free
so back to: if police can have tanks they can have cameras

cops have plenty of cameras on them, but i"ve never seen a video of cops beating someone / shooting someone etc. with cartoon sound effects added so the only way I support body cameras is if the software inserts them when appropriate

why shouldnt they have body cameras? they are really tiny and unobtrusive and you're on camera anyways so this way it just covers the assholes who specifically avoid being on their dashcam

cops are free to turn off or remove their cameras at any time, so cameras dont solve poo poo. besides, even when they are caught on camera it isnt like they are ever held accountable for their actions. nor should they be, as every dead human is one step closer to paradise.

This is really the case. All the cameras in the world don't really matter when no one is willing to punish you.

Attach their guns to a cock ring attached to their testicles.

If they need their gun that badly, they should happily rip their balls off to get to it.

yes but what if they desperately crave severe genital abuse? then they get to get off both by destroying their own balls and beating a minority and/or homeless person to death. thats one benefit too many for cops.

Cops don't need cameras but should have explosive collars that detonate after a random number of trigger pulls of their firearms. This includes range time as well, and includes any firearm they are issued.

Edit: actually, implement this for all gun owners and also the military.

Body cameras are a good idea but they should also change the laws allowing police officers to murder whoever they want for whatever reason they want.
