RE: Are Police Body Cam's Racist? I haven't spoken to/interacted with enough cams to make a judgment call. Seriously, I thought one of the reasons proponents of body cams gave in support of them was that it would help document/fight instances of racism? Peace, Michael

Reports aided by footage review are ultimately less accurate, because they no longer capture an officer's own independent recollection of events." Reports aided by footage review are less accurate? Because the camera lies?

That is the reason theyweere issued Michael, but tthe first link indicated that they distort evidence instead. Thus making them racist.

Know what you don't see? White police body cameras. Obviously, police body cameras as RACIST!!!! [/sarcasm]

Because the camera lies? I don't get that "logic" either. An officer's memory of an event is always absolutely perfect, so if the camera footage doesn't confirm what he remembers and reports, the camera is the one that has a faulty memory?

I have been ponderring and part of the issue is that there is a possibility that the camera's didn't prove what the desired outcome that was wanted, thus making them suspect. Just speculating.

Just speculating. Anything that doesn't advance the desired talking points is inaccurate or useless. That's S.O.P. for the self-appointed arbiters of decency and morality. Spot on, Ken.

Just speculating. Yep, and the white police depts. don't want them and allow contractors to own and restrict the content. With these new inventions, our law enforcement is twisting themselves into pretzels trying for either a new legal environment or to hide and obfuscate the recorded results.

Body cameras and dashboard cameras are a tool in the search for truth and not a panacea of proof. Body camera footage showing a person crazily waving a knife around and screaming prior to being shot by police is rather definitive. Close quarters body cam footage that gives the impression of a struggle without actually showing the struggle is indicative but not prohibitive (to use some CSI jargon). This is the job of lawyers and judges to sort out during the "discovery" portion of a criminal trial. Quality of trial lawyers may vary. <grin>

I've heard more than once and particularly in theses cases, that the most perjury in court, is committed by the police. They the police are eternally trying to protect themselves. Yet it is the local police that are in the front lines in the battle to protect our rights...not cover their ass for their incompetence or criminality at the expense of the people's rights. For an example, there is one dashboard tape that caught a police officer planting cocaine in a car. He couldn't lie his way out of that one.

If it's an issue, make the bodycam footage inaccessible to the officer, or have it upload automatically to a secure server so that IA can review the footage and compare it against a report made by an "unprejudiced by video" officer.

That's what the OP's first link leads to. Personally, I like the idea of police reports being as accurate as possible, which means they should be able to review the cam footage while making the report.

Personally, I like the idea of police reports being as accurate as possible, which means they should be able to review the cam footage while making the report. Different people can look at a video and perceive it differently. Personally, I agree with you that Officers should utilize the cam footage to write their reports. It should help the honest ones defend their actions and reveal the ones who try to slant the narrative.

JVoV -> RE: Are Police Body Cam's Racist? (11/19/2017 2:00:46 PM)
I don't see why an officer should be able to review the body footage at all. The report should be given based on what the officer saw, heard, smelled, and felt, as soon as they're able to make the report. What's on the video should corroborate the officer's statement, not be used as a cheat sheet. If any sort of racism is at play here, it's the Blue Supremacists. (Cops)

FFS I understand and you add the rest to it. I.e., the police all too often, know they have something to hide or worse, plant.
