Indeed. The Ferguson police in fact have a couple dashboard cameras and body cameras for officers to wear, however none have been installed due to the $3k/per expense (no link, easy to google).
It's staggering how low accountability is on law enforcement's priority list, especially given the amount of money available for "crowd control" military hardware.

- thaumasiotes 12y ago> It's staggering how low accountability is on law enforcement's priority list Huh? Why would they want to be accountable? Accountability would be a priority of the populace.
