Police body cameras: Money for nothing?

Body camera's are desperately needed. It protects the police an shows the judge's what really happen. This article focus on how police do not act differently and how the number of complaints about cops has not changed. These Body Camera's are necessary equipment for LEO's.

Great investment. If cops are as dirty as claimed, we get evidence. (or at least a trail of conveniently "missing" footage. If the claims are made up, the cops get exonerated and their reputations restored.

It moves the discussion from "who are you going to believe, Noble Cop (fascist thug) vs lying criminal (aggrieved citizen going about their peaceful business)?" to "What does the evidence show?" I think the latter conversation is much more healthy for our republic.

Also, 18 months is too short a time to draw meaningful results. Given the nature of our 'justice' system, contentious situations can easily take 2-4 years to work their way through the courts and to a final determination. I would expect that you would need quite a few high profile decisions where body cameras made a decisive impact before law enforcement culture (and/or a culture of false claims) was significantly impacted.

.....Haven't you boots figured this out yet? Geeze, it's not that hard. Facts and evidence only matter if it fits the media and establishment narrative. If it doesn't provewhat THEY want, it's gonna be ignored, disregarded or even tossed out. Pardon my cynicism. In Nam we had a ssying: "I got shot at and missed, then shot at and hit." I got this way from observations made over 73 years of hard seas and roads.
