We need a system where as soon as a cop draws his gun, the video camera starts recording
We need a system where they can't turn it off by themselves. Let them call someone to remotely to request it off for a specific period of time if they're taking a break. "Hey, taking lunch, can you pause it for an hour?" This is easily solvable, but police accountability is not a problem that the police want to solve.
The NYTimes Daily podcast did a recent piece on why bodycams haven’t had as big of an impact and it sounds like a big part of the problem is that even if video is recorded the police retain custody so it’s super easy for them to bury the footage. I don’t know why it’s not standard operating procedure for an unrelated body be the ones to maintain custody of the bodycam footage.
Because they don't want to be held accountable, they just want to keep getting away with murder and assault
How about a system where cops face the same justice as the people they murder.
This one wasn't wearing a camera. How that could be the case in 2020 is beyond me. I just assumed they all have 'em now.
