The next racially dividing police shooting on stage ?
FF incoming ?
Can't have people pin pointing multiple attack points by sound or visuals again can they ?
Do they learn from previous mistakes?
Easier said than done……
Even if nothing is coming the entire program sounds like tax dollars are being wasted.
"Sources say all body-worn cameras have generally been pretty faulty.
The product is generally crap in all models,” a high-ranking NYPD official said. “It’s not good in the field. They break easily.”
"The source added that the power switch on many cameras is too sensitive, which makes it difficult to record important incidents.
The city’s vending process generally always goes for the cheapest vendor despite superior products elsewhere,” the source said. “I guess you get what you pay for.”
Is this acceptable?
Technology is cheap and readily available.
Many police departments are using superior products
Tax dollars are being wasted with these known complaints and issues.
3000 body cams being pulled off the streets over one battery malfunction.
Make no mistake the camera did not malfunction as the media is selling it.
