Don't have any background, but from what I've seen so far (a small handful of the tons of docs) it's collective bargaining agreements between various police unions and the cities they operate in. Haven't seen one more recent than 2012.

    Sure, But currently Stingray and Body Cameras are the two biggest contentious technology issues with police at the moment. Police in Chicago were caught destroying cameras and mics to avoid audio recording and reporting. Stingrays are seemingly getting reported weekly. So, I think they are a good focus. But - make a word cloud and see whats largest.

      Not sure why you're being downvoted, this is all very pertinent information to be looking for in collective bargaining agreements, even if they are a few years old.

      Been looking through it for a bit - found pretty much no mention in here except for a few vague legalese. Found this gem, though: Would you send me the AVL info. Our Chief has indicated to us, not only can he track our locations from his home computer and Blackberry using AVL, but can access the on board camera system as well. This includes the ONLY interior car camera that ONLY monitors the driver. That's right, it doesn't monitor the criminal in the back seat, just the driver. He says this can only be done when the system is active such as on a car stop. I am not aware of any incident in which he has done this.\r\n\r\nHe has also installed cameras in the station that only target the receptionst in the enclosed office and the squad room where officers do their paperwork. On occassion he has called the night dispatcher and commented on what she was having for dinner and called the station to comment that he can see officers talking and not typing. BIG BROTHER IS WATCHING.\r\n\r\nI understand these cameras have been placed for "security" purposes. The building is posted to inform people that video monitoring is in use. Is there a limit to their use? Re:Contract language covering use of AVL for discipline

        That gem sounds like a union member asking his representative about overreaching power of management for a purpose not traditionally thought of as why cops need cams, so...checks out to me.
