Significant to note that Newark Police officers did not wear body cameras until early 2020. It seems like part of the same “decree” but I didn’t see the article mention it.
I recall a similar stat from CA where body cameras reduced complaints by 80%.
Also it looks like Merrick Garland reversed Jeff Sessions’ limitations on consent decree.
