I think this is great. I do believe that body cams on officers is here to stay. Maybe a few years ago it was a novel idea. But I do still have questions about the way they operate. From my research, officers have control of when to turn the cameras on or off. And there’s the fact that technology has surged ahead of state privacy laws and questions about whether or not videos should be made public. Isn’t this pretty much like the show COPS, minus the camera crews?
