Many cops welcome the cameras because it's their vindication and get-out-of-jail ticket for people making false claims. If I were a cop, I'd want one for sure.

- JshWright 10y agoI know a lot of cops, including many that wear body cameras. They are universally in favor of them, for the very reason you mentioned (they all have stories of times they were accused of misconduct, but had video evidence on their side).
- mrgoldenbrown 10y agoPlease have them come to Boston and convince their fellow officers. The union here is fighting them tooth and nail, even after being given financial incentives to pilot them.
- ccvannorman 10y ago"If you have nothing to hide, you have nothing to fear" applies here. I would definitely want a camera if I was an officer, and I definitely don't want a (gov't always-on) camera if I'm a civilian.
