Is it time to put recording devices on all police officers?

The technology exists. Mandatory that device be on when dealing with suspects?
I assume union groups would be against it.

Yes. I don't know why the police wouldn't support having this extra layer of protection against false accusations.

I think the ones in the cars only activate when the lights are turned on during a stop.
Something on their chest could be made to act in a similar fashion. We don't need to know what's going on when they're not acting in official matters.

bullshite, lapel cameras are at most a couple of hundred dollars and would protect both sides. If police departments can afford every military gadget known to man they can afford the lapel cameras.

Why someone would want to be a police officer in present day America is beyond me. They're pitted against the public they are protecting by the same public, the pay is terrible, and they're always in harm's way on a daily basis for the terrible pay.

The cop involved in the
non-reported officer shooting, had one but turned it off prior to the incident.

Not sure you know how they acquire the military stuff.......military surplus so they pay little or nothing for it.

Not true. I've seen some that are always on

I know exactly how they get stuff, don't set there and tell me there aren't maintenance costs associated with all that equipment. Sell some of the military gear and do the right fricking thing by god.

We could load them up Aliens 2-style. Not just recording devices, but a way to send back-up without a call if something happens.

Yes. It protects both ways. Not only would use of excessive force go down - but false complaints would also decrease.

I've had 3 friends who were all 8+ years on the force leave this year for the private sector. I don't blame them.

Absolutely. It protects both ways.
It was found that cops who had these were involved in a large percentage less violent encounters.
And they would help in situations like this. They are not expensive and would do a large service to protect both the officer and the public.
There really is little reason why not to have them.
