A cops word should mean nothing unless their body cam is on
Maybe that will be enough for them to stop accidentally turning them off
We used to have to trust the police because otherwise the system would collapse without that trust. But now that trust has been supplanted by actual evidence in the form of body cameras. And that evidence shows that the police can’t be trusted.
Just like religion in this country, hopefully trust in the police will continur to fade as we get more and more evidence that it’s just another tool used to suppress the underclass.
I would go so far as to substantiate any claim of police abuse if their camera was off.
Police testimony inadmissible, and suspects testimony as the truth.
If they don’t like it, they will be motivated to cooperate with camera mandates rather than tamper with them.
If people defend themselves against abuse, they go to jail.
If they don’t, they go to jail.
Not true. They might instead go to the hospital or morgue.
But- and hear me out here- what if they’re rich?
