There are many officers who are sent to testify in court because the suspect is said that he did not do anything wrong, but on the officer’s side of the story is totally the opposite. Therefore, the judge is most likely to give the officer the winning hand because there was no evidence shown or given by the suspect. There are many good cops out there, but I agree there are also those bad cops that believe they have all the power to do anything because they are the law.…

    The article Police Body Cameras analyzes the possible outcomes of this idea. The article states that using body cameras could offer protection to both parties, equating to a win-win scenario. Not only would the footage “protect the public against police misconduct”, but it would also “protect the police against false accusations of abuse” (p. 8). The footage collected from the cameras would offer accurate account of incidents which have in the past been blurred with bias against police as well as the blue shield of trust which protects fellow officers from their wrongdoing with cover up stories. The same article further explains that body cameras could be the bridge of trust needed between the public and law enforcement through the feeling of security they provide.…

    Police body cameras could potentially eliminate police brutality, create a nation-wide sense of comfort and security, and create self-promotion opportunity for police officers. But, are these expectations of safeguarding realistic? Storing and analyzing the footage, alone, is an obstacle that creates issue with the body cameras, but on top of that, there are privacy policy conflictions, both for the police officers and civilians, and, as proven in the past, footage of police brutality may not bring justice to victims and their families (“Police Body Cameras”). Although the idea of having everything filmed seems like an easy solution to police superiority, implementing the cameras is not as simple as publically assumed.…

We are constantly being observed no matter where go, which isn’t necessarily a bad thing. With the recent terrorists’ attacks and threats, our society should feel protected by the cameras, knowing that if someone attempts to create chaos, it’ll be easier to capture them if they are caught on video.
