Except they have full control over those cameras and the footage they record.
Anytime there’s misconduct they just refuse to release the footage or they turn off the camera.
Except even when they are filmed nothing happens, they just get paid leave or shuffled to another department.
That’s a fair point, I’m just skeptical how much of a difference a new tech gadget can make on systemic issues.
At least then the victim's family can get a wrongful death payout. It would be even better if they abolished qualified immunity.
