After cop with bodycam switched off kills teenage boy, New York sheriff says he's thinking about maybe requiring cops to switch bodycams on as they respond to calls
I once got downvoted to oblivion on Reddit for saying I'd rather some person have to see a cops dick out when they piss (through video) than see another case where a cop turns his bodycam off during an encounter.
They should never be turned off and I agree it should be instant prison time no questions asked.
Do you want to improve things, or just get vengeance? Your mindset is the same mindset that got us in this situation, it’s the same mindset that has been used to allow things like that to happen.
See the difference is we're supposed to hold these people to higher standards. If they fuck up the punishment should be more extreme and their actions should be heavily scrutinized. If they can kill someone with little to no evidence they should be just as susceptible to losing everything with even the slightest fuck up.
As long as there is a 3rd party review process to filter out background people in restrooms and other sensitive areas to avoid getting random people in trouble because a cop was present with a camera on.
Off or purposely blocked by their hand for more time than can be considered a reasonable accident should be a crime and immediate ban from law enforcement for life.
