Last night I left the gym and had my windows rolled down to not stink the car up, NWA gently caress the police came on my radio as I sat texting at a red light. I look up to check the light eventually and there was a cop next to me with his windows rolled down, texting as well.

You as a citizen issue a formal complaint, video gets used by IA/whoever to verify conduct.

You as an officer have to do anything beyond talking to people, video gets used by the DA as evidence.

Nothing happens or no complaints, video rots in the cloud or wherever.

Reality: I work in one of america's ten most violent small cities. Our courthouse, in which I work, looks like it's in the middle of a demilitarized zone complete with abandoned buildings and burned out buildings, and all of our homicides generally take place within a 2 mile radius. As a scare tactic, it's not uncommon for people to take cell phone pics of the people involved in the hallways. We can keep the phones out of the courtrooms themselves, but the hallways...yeah. Hard to police that. we've actually had a murder on the goddamn courthouse steps. (but that was admittedly a while ago) In the past year, my case load has been: DUI (meh whatever); Stabbing; rape of a child; serial home invasion rapist; capital murder of a child witness; murder; felony murder/armed robbery; murder; rape of a child x2; murder; murder; murder; armed robbery; kidnap and attempted murder; capital murder; drug ring. I'm forgetting some, but you get the jist. Now, these murders didn't all happen this year, some are habeas matters going back a while. But this is the poo poo we care about.

but of course, I'm just afraid of poor people.

Sounds like an issue better addressed by streamlining the FOIA process rather than the other way around. It's not like there's an expectation of privacy when talking to a police officer on duty, and it shouldn't be complicated to carve out an exception when private conversations do need to happens - perhaps turning the camera off if both the officer and person being talked to agree to turn it off, and there is more than one officer in the room.

The FOIA stuff could really easily be used for witch hunt kind of stuff like you said or just abused. What stuff should be view-able, like if a cop gets a personal phone call during his shift can that be viewed during FOIA requests and so on. What if he goes home for lunch? There are some things that need to be ironed out before I feel like it wouldn't be kind of screwing some of the officers.

well, since FOIA is a statutory right, you could always amend your state FOIA laws to exempt the lapel footage. Or just erase all footage at the end of the shift if there are no incidents.

A lot of tasers have had cameras in them for years for liability reasons. We might as well put them on guns now so the next time somebody is crying about a cop blowing away their precious innocent baby they can be presented with video of him brandishing a meat cleaver.

I'd prefer body cameras that any kind of weapon cam. Our first batch of tasers came with the camera attachment but the problem with those were that they'd only show the 2-3 seconds it took for the officer to draw, activate aim and fire the taser instead of the minute or so prior that lead up to the dude being tased. Those videos sure do show that a guy got tased, but they never showed the why-> how he was acting just before being tased. Bring on the body cams though, if I was still working a beat I'd love to have one. Let that bitch run anytime I have to talk to anyone about anything at all.

Great! Love using a experienced system and fix the bugs with it. Be cool to find out the cost and how much the cost would scale up/down depending on the size of the department.

Wonder if it could be like a healthcare.gov thing where the fed provide a system or the states make their own. Would suck figuring out each state specific laws and quick through.

Alright, gentlemen, here's the plan: we're going to enter the town from the west, roll down Park, turn east onto Main, and then set up a snap TCP outside the McDonald's and check every vehicle for McFlurries. Alpha will control traffic this time; Bravo, you guys have the holding area, and I also want an OP on top of the Commerce Building. Keep in mind that every household is allowed one McFlurry, so remember your escalation of force procedures and don't go shooting everyone with an item off the dessert menu. We have a new bolo vehicle, a beige four door rice-burner, late model. The owner hasn't responded to a parking ticket from July, so call up anything that fits that description. Also, we're still looking for that blue minivan from last week and Objective Tennis Shoe. We have Officer Snuffles with us again today.

Make him pay for the costs incurred then. So long as the cost per request is reasonable it shouldn't be noticeable for anyone not making absurd requests and plenty of govt institutions make you pay for all kinds of stuff.

The practical stuff is nothing a nation that spends it's weekends hunting hill tribes with flying killer robots via world wide remote cannot figure out. The question is just convincing someone to fund it well enough to get it right.
I'd think the societal gains from making dumb cops play nice, and being able to show whether the black guy had it comming would outweigh the costs. Hell, you could make the argument that whatever the purely economical cost it's probably less than tax losses from the aftermath of riots that could have been avoided if we had a simple way to prove what happened.

As far as convincing, tell the right it's for recording the thugs and tell the left it's for recording The Man. I'm sure someone will get hosed by the justice system as a result, but if legal liability was a legitimate enough concern not to do something in America then you couldn't even get out of bed and brew a cup of coffee in the morning.
