I still think we should have body cameras, but the primary focus should be better policing, not camera compliance alone.
- zepto 11y agoThey do on extremely rare occasions, but it is clear that the level of misconduct is far higher than is ever prosecuted. On the subject of camera compliance - if an officer deliberately evades camera compliance, as a huge proportion do, we have clear evidence that that officer believes they do not have to follow policies and procedures in general. That is corruption.
