While cameras will never be the whole story, it does not hurt to have an additional piece of evidence. Something I noticed while watching the videos was that the wearer of the camera did not even have it properly strapped down, so it was flapping all over the place attached to a t-shirt making the video even worse (which is what the makers of these videos wanted). I think if the camera was properly secured to a normal police uniform or vest it would be much clearer what is going on.
- CoreSet 11y agoI appreciate your comment, but couldn't it also be the intent of the police officers wearing the camera not to secure it, because shitty footage is sort of more the desired effect than an unintended consequence? I took this video as being an investigation of that very possibility.
- kelnos 11y agoPossible, but the intent of the article seems to be to cast doubt on the value of body cam footage as a matter of its inherent limitations. Police intentionally not securing the camera to their body properly wouldn't be in service of that.
