Why, I'm missing some reference here?
54 0 ReplyMy first guess was the hood is up to block the dash cam

About 4(? Mightve been 5) years ago, some cops lifted their hoods and planted some drugs. (Or at least was the claim.)

Don't they have body cams?
30 0 Reply7 states require them right now. Thats it. Most are still fighting saying that if the police are on camera they can't do their job.
65 0 ReplyIt's not a perfect solution either. There have been plenty of instances where cops "forget to turn on" or "accidently block" their cams. Even cases where, mysteriously, the cams are "accidentally" damaged or the data "corrupted".
Unfortunately seems like the only defense for these cases is livestreaming police interactions.
Cop unions should be illegal. (All other unions are fine)
