Reason! No! Don’t you fall victim to the propaganda. I’ve been discussing this body cam “solution” in several articles. See them here, and here, and here. Now even reason is reporting the “benefit” of these body cams. These cameras are not watching the cops. They are watching the citizens. Any short term reduction in police abuse is for propaganda purposes only until the people are “sold” on the “solution”. After that, business as usual. – Colonel Nogov
If you didn’t click over to see my previous articles, here’s a snippet;
Not only will police body cams do nothing to stop police abuse, it will actually make things worse. Somehow the police always manage to destroy, lose, cover-up or forget to record instances of their criminal behavior, with rare exception. What it will do is put hundreds of thousands more video cameras watching you and me. And, somehow that footage never gets lost. The masses really are too stupid to realize they’re cheering on and paying for the government to increase surveillance on them! – Colonel Nogov
