“Dammit, I forgot to turn off the camera!”
Why exactly is it possible for the police to turn off the cameras? It should be on ALL THE TIME. Save the whole day’s video for a few weeks, in case there’s an accusation of misconduct, and after that cut it to just the 5 minutes before and after every stop (and the stop itself of course).
Shoulder-cams too. Disabling them or destroying the footage should be an instant fireable offense or a federal crime.
Because, I don’t know, terrorists might infiltrate us otherwise. Hey, if you’ve got nothing to hide, you’ve got nothing to fear.
