It looks like only a small number of officers will have them for the pilot program. But even if widely adopted, I feel like this wont help stop police abuse due to the Blue Code of Silence.
Besides, cameras on squad cars don't prevent racial profiling on the road. I've never been told "you were driving while black, so lets see if you have something illegal in your car."
Instead, I hear: "it didnt look like you were wearing your seatbelt..." or "you were following the car ahead of you too closely..." or "I need to check your window tint" (and i dont even have tinted windows!)
I feel like body cams are just another obstacle for abusive police to maneuver around.
