If the police are public servants why would there encounters with the public not be public. Of course after an investigation is concluded or no charges are pressed. You don't want to tamper a possible jury pool. Other than that it should all be public so people know what cops deal with. It will also help the public know if they should be happy or upset how the institution they set up are performing there rolls.

They should be able to keep it private if they wish short of a court order.
If they choose to release it, fine. The local gang bangers could find out quickly who was snitching up in here if it were streamed live or even time delayed. |

What exactly do body cameras fix? What do they solve?
Obama loves them. He says they should be in any area where questions of judgement are. I'm thinking he should wear one. I'm in for 5$. Maybe everyone should just hire honest cops? The city I live in has a fantastic reputation. Love my guys. |

The only check on this sort of thing is the voters, and by and large, they just don't seem to care in any place I've heard of in this country, or at least any moderate to large municipality. Police incompetence? Front page news around here, together with public outcry to fix it. City incompetence and total waste of taxpayer money? No one cares. Heck, the missus was digging into something unrelated a while back, and discovered that the city had bought several empty lots from a filming company a year ago. The lots were bought by the company (which is based out of a small house in NJ if you believe corporate filings,) for exactly what their assessed value was per the city assessor's office, which was something around $38,000.00. The price the city paid for these lots, which still sit empty, when they bought them from the film company? $3,500,000.00 of taxpayer money, as listed and reported by the registrar of conveyances for the city. She went to three local media outlets with it, assuming they'd jump on it and uncover more of the same. Nope. No one cares. It won't sell enough ad space I guess. So don't tell me things are going to be different when it comes to technology purchases going forward. |

Be realistic I didn't say make my private info public i said the video. Add in time date. I said it should be public not that I want to see it. Only evil hides in the dark.

Out of my lane here... but wouldn't the admission of any of these recordings into evidence in any sort of trial preclude them from FOIA requests?

No problem with them private, but discoverable in any criminal/civil case.

Quoted: There is a distinct difference between a government agent unilaterally making a citizen's private information public (when there is no business logic to do so) versus the activity/actions/information of a government agent acting in his/her official public employee role being made public (exempting of course those things the courts have already determined must be private such as child welfare incidents, etc.). If you fail to understand that distinction, you really shouldn't be a law enforcement officer.

Not 100% true. There are things public employees do that the public should rightfully not have access to. The rub is determining what those things are. Child protective services, welfare recipient personal information, protected health information, etc. are just examples of data/information that is, and depending on the granularity of it, should be protected.

Why keep the video private if the police have nothing to hid?
I agree that it should be private to the general public but available to the people involved in the case.
|
|
It should be available. Add a fee to it to prevent the "basement dwellers". If your an involved party up to 1 hour of video is free, it's $100 an hour after that. If you're not an involved party than it's $100 per minute with no free part.
Or we could just have the cops wear masks and use aliases. Can you picture a cop pulling you over in a halloween mask and saying "Greeting sir! I'm officer Fuck You, do you know how fast you were going?" Hell, Extorris might come out of retirement for that.

...Cornish, chair of the House Public Safety Committee, introduced a bill that would classify the video from body cameras as private data accessible only to law enforcement and the subjects of the video. He said privacy concerns and the cost of redacting data are the reasons to keep the videos confidential....

It should be available to anyone with a legit interest in the case upon request. Interest in this case does not mean curiosity. It means that they are somehow involved in the case. What they do with it after that is their business.

Public servants on the clock should have nothing private Including what occurs on the job in a private home. The people here are all for rights and privacy, but want to make every video public when the police are having a private conversation with a person, responding to a crime, or dealing with critical incidents. The CHP trooper that posted aftermath of a car crash was not treatly kindly here. He sent out some photos of the crime scene, which should be made public based upon the thoughts of some people here. If the videos are public information, am I allowed to retrieve my own videos and publish them? Am I not also granted that right since they are public documents? How would victims and people feel knowing that the officer can not only witness their private incident but that he could also go post them on Youtube when he is done? |

You do not want the video being publicly available on a whim trust me.
For instance, your wife suffers some type of issue. She strips her clothes off a did nude. Law enforcement will be sent to secure the scene for EMS due to the nature of the call. Also due to the nature of the call OR policy we have our body cam rolling. Now little timmy basement dweller can request that video and post your wife nude on the radio. Second your son discovers auto erotic asphyxiation. I get called and to help document the scene for evidentiary purposes OR policy I have my camera rolling. Now your sons whole school/Facebook can get the video of him hanging on the door naked. I am a pro-body cam LEO as I think it would stop of a lot of things from the public and would make he bad apples in my profession stop the stupidity if they are being recorded. But I do not think the public should babe willy-nilly access to the footage. |
