Most yank cop cars have dash cams which have captured some outrageous activity, so it's not a universal deterrent for bad cop behaviour, but regardless body-cams would probably be a good idea.Originally posted by vetran View PostComment

No doubt in a lot of these shooting cases, the footage would go missing or some technical fault prevented it being recorded...

Isn't that the logic the Govt. used for the "snoopers charter" that is being shot down (pun intended)Originally posted by Stevie Wonder BoyComment

You'd think so, but given the stuff captured by officer's own dash cams I can only assume they forget it's there or they don't understand the tech.Originally posted by DimPrawn View PostIn this day and age, it's a no brainer. Protects the public and the police officers.

You'd probably want it doing live streaming to a remote location with some kind of local storage for backup. Circumventing would require a greater level of premeditation than is apparent in many of these incidents. Alternatively IAB could have drones situated to be able to rapidly respond to any officer report that they're checking out a situation and spy on them?Comment

should be locked in a safe built into the car and keys kept with the garage staff. Random audits checking the video & audio. That way there is no suggestion of tampering by Police. Diagnostic switch at on / off and automatic reporting would make sure you can't go out with a faulty vehicle.Originally posted by NickFitz View Post
I assumed the uploads were automatic when the cars returned? With 240gb SSDs at £50 it should be possible to store days or weeks of video in the car. Take a 64GB usb drive in to the station when you finish your shift.

They really need to clean house there and fire a lot of cops. There's been too much of a blind eye from the mayor's office and the attorney general in Chicago for far too long.Originally posted by NickFitz View PostComment
