Why would the police be against bodycams? Personably, I i where a police officer I would apreciate a verifiable record of what goes on while I do my job. That way whenm something goes tits up the investigation will be faster and would either be cleared or sendt to the appropriate course to stoip the avoidable mistakes from happening again. Why is tis not considered a win win for everyone involved?
The reason Police don't like cameras is the footage can be used against them by a defence attorney.
Its much easier to defend something written on paper then video in a court.
Imagine having to account for everything you did that was recorded by a video camera of an incident verses a couple sentences on a piece of paper.
