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
- cdcarter 11y agoThat 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.
