Some cities have started having their officers wear a recording device that records their interactions with the public. One city that does this is El Paso, Texas. Another city, which began the policy, said that it reduced complaints against officers by 88%.

 

What are your thoughts?

 

For my writing requirement while in law school, my paper is going to be on cyber crime and cyber security, and how technology advances more rapidly than the 4th Amendment can evolve, leading to a grey area in the law and inconsistent judicial decisions.

 

I'm thinking about incorporating the use of this technology (among a number of other things, such as the work of Boston Dynamics), into my piece.

 

Here?s why cops should be required to wear a lapel camera while on duty

I'm not sure what agencies in NKY do this but I know Erlanger has been doing it for quite a while, long enough so that when I talked to an officer in May he said they were about to get them upgraded. The camera's really don't jump out at you, I talked to the officer for a couple of hours before I even realized he was wearing it, when I asked about it he told me about the upgrade coming up soon.

Good.

Most police agencies in NKY issue lapel cameras to their officers. Some Kentucky social service agencies wear them as well when they do interviews or enter people's homes.

I like them, seems as if it would alleviate a lot of bogus reports against officers and would serve as a deterrent for some officers that could get out of control.

Smart move.

Exactly it works both way, protects every one involved.

So many issues here. In a perfect world I agree 100% but this is far from a perfect world.

 

In my opinion this will eventually become commonplace and the collateral damage will be less qualified men and women seek careers in law enforcement.

What does this have to do with how qualified an officer is? I'm not seeing a connection.

I don't know anything about law school (except I like beating up on lawyers) but your paper sounds too broad if you are covering all those issues and trying to incorporate the lapel camera issue.

 

I guess I would have to know more about the writing guidelines?

Less qualified in what areas?

Ask any police officer what is the worst part about being a cop and get back with me.

What are some of the issues you find with it?

 

I ask because there are a lot of positives/negatives that I can see coming with it, especially unintended consequences.

 

Why do you think it will lead to less qualified people becoming officers? Just the threat of being sued?

You get the same response junior, "Ask any police officer what is the worst part about being a cop and get back with me."
