The cost for body cameras has surely dropped over time and will only become cheaper and hopefully more secure as time goes by. The big deal when the first came out was where do you store it all and etc like that.
I am all for body cameras, but as you say.. it seems when the situation becomes intense often times the cameras go off. During the stop in Oregon when Levoy Finnicum got shot the FBI made the Oregon police all turn their cameras off..
I think that there needs to be some clear guidelines on when and when they cant run body camera, and punishments along with it. I don't know though, if a cop entered my house I would prefer there was a camera on as long as I could defend myself in court with the footage, or my family can get proper reparations if things went bad and I had to pull up my pants while I crawl across the hall.
Nothing is ever just black and white though. thanks for the thoughts.
