It’s my understanding is that the ACLU does not want LE to have them now because the videos support the police an overwhelming amount of the time.

I am not personally aware of any agency and or officer who wants to get rid of their body cameras. Now that being said, I know for a fact that when politicians wanted to implement body cameras 1/2

I miss when my word/testimony was enough, but I wouldn’t want to do law enforcement today without a body camera. I panic a little anytime mine dies while I’m in the middle of a long call.

I love having a BWC. It gets to show the public, judge, and jury how ridiculous the public acts sometimes and protects officers from false IA complaints.

Police unions want to negotiate body cam policy. No police union is trying to get rid of body cams.

That guy with the huskies :
Had body cams when I was an officer. And I loved them. They helped in every situation. They helped good officers when bs complaints were raised against them. And they helped catch bad cops.

Body cams. it's a witness with no emotion that never lies... requesting body cam footage it's difficult sometimes it should not be that difficult.

At LVMPD, my recollection is, the union successfully argued that body cams are a safety item and thus subject to collective bargaining. Officer’s received a percentage of a raise in exchange

Love having a body cam. On the rare occasion a citizen does complain about me, it’s squashed expeditiously.

There’s just so much misinformation about how police departments actually run.

my only problem with them is charging people when they "swear/affirm" to a statement then found to be lying

I wasn’t a huge fan of getting them, but stems from our admin being liars and cowards. Just no trust in leadership.

Loved my bodycam. I usually agree with you, but because it’s a change in working conditions, it’s a meet an confer item and unions in many cases fought hard against them and slowed the process.

I remember when they first started, and it worked in favor of the officers so activists tried to make it so that officers couldn’t review the cameras before or while writing their reports

People that don’t know can’t understand that for every recorded abuse (the type that make it on social media) the protection it has provided from false complaints to officers is huge. I would now question a cop if they didn’t want it!

Always boils down to money. I understand the politicians have a job to do of protecting the bottom line, but that line is shattered when bodycams clear out lawsuits they may have had to pay without.
