It wasn’t until she saw a post on Facebook that led her to believe that police were blocking their dash cams. "That camera is the backup that’s been letting us know, nationwide, what’s been going on for a long time,” Frazier said. "Those cameras are giving us a lot of information that we need.” Danville Police Lt. Mike Wallace said officers were told to raise their hoods when their cars are idling for long periods. They started doing it during a heat wave in late August. "The engine didn’t overheat, it just got so hot that some of the parts had melted,” Wallace said. "Well, we’ve got to take the car off line when that happens, to get it fixed.” "So, we want to dispel this type of information that’s come from outside of our area.

Weird, we where never told to raise the hoods on our ambulances, despite the fact that sat idling in 120 degree heat for 8-10 hours some days, never saw a patrol car with its hood up either. VA not spring for the hot weather package on their rigs?

Despite the fact that the raising of hoods was not a dastardly conspiracy to rape and murder with impunity...
If the hoods obscure the use of the dashcam then raising the hoods is not an acceptable option, imo. The cameras are there, ostensibly, for both citizen and officer, they are meant to film the interaction, tax money was spent to create that program and it makes no sense to waste that money and that function. |

Ever since the speeding ticket quotas were banned the police have been forced to come up with unique ways of generating revenue. The money generated with the court proceedings following the shooting of people in certain minority groups has become a cash cow for small departments. Actions have consequences ya know. |

Danville was where my first real job was. It's a town whose economy was built on textiles and tobacco. Two business modalities that aren't very vuabke today. They still do tobacco but the textiles have all but shut down. There is a pretty high unemployment rate.
It does get hot there. It's on the southern border of Virginia. They don't have tons of money and they don't have take home cars. They run 24/7. The other interesting thing about that town is there isn't a ghetto area or ghetto part of town. It's ghetto spread everywhere. There are pockets of nice areas completely surrounded by ghetto. And the ignorance level in those ghetto areas is astounding. I got to witness it all first-hand when I rode rescue there. Total cradle-to-grace dependency in a lot of that population so I'm sure they buy the "cops are out to get us" ideology. Hook, line, and sinker. |

It's real. I was at OU's first game this season at Norman. There must have been 200 police vehicles on campus and every last one of them had their hoods up. |

"Police Cruisers" in a small town are whatever they can get for cheap from the local dealership. The only difference is the paint scheme and MAYBE an upgraded alternator. 
Have any of you waterheads figured out yet that they would have to put the hood DOWN in order to make a traffic stop in the first place? |

They aren't raising their hoods during traffic stops or volatile calls, they're doing it while simply sitting still - eating lunch, writing reports, directing traffic, etc. If they didn't want their cameras to record, they could just, shoot, I don't know...NOT TURN THEM ON?

The earlier camera systems that used a recording disk shut off to protect themselves if the internal temp went over 110 degrees. The computer was about the same. I've had to hose down my car to cool it off enough to go on patrol. Sitting in the sun alone killed the computer system. |

Mike Wallace said officers were told to raise their hoods when their cars are idling for long periods. They started doing it during a heat wave in late August. “The engine didn’t overheat, it just got so hot that some of the parts had melted,” Wallace said. “Well, we’ve got to take the car off line when that happens, to get it fixed.” “So, we want to dispel this type of information that’s come from outside of our area. We want our citizens to know what the truth is.” http://www.wbrc.com/story/33255863/police-dept-dispels-rumors-about-raised-patrol-car-hoods-in-va People are stupid. police in tx have been doing this when working traffic control in the summer since i was in HS. |

OMG. I have not seen a "dash cam" mounted on a dash in 25 years. They are all mounted up high. |

I saw this post going around on Facebook, so I saw the pictures attached to it, the hoods are fully raised in the pictures in the post, I dunno if those are exceptions or what. Shouldn't the dash cam be on at all times when there is an interaction with a citizen? Quote HistoryQuoted:

If the hoods obscure the use of the dashcam then raising the hoods is not an acceptable option, imo. The cameras are there, ostensibly, for both citizen and officer, they are meant to film the interaction, tax money was spent to create that program and it makes no sense to waste that money and that function. Most dash cameras are mounted in the upper part of the windshield. So unless they have the hoods all the way up (which I doubt) they are not blocking dash cams. Also I bet most in a situation where they are idling the vehicles for long periods of time the dash cams are not on.

Police cruisers typically have upgraded cooling systems for the engine, oil, and transmission so tge car can be used in high speed chases and long idle times. I dont buy their bullshit excuse for a second. They will find another way to cover the dash cameras. Quote HistoryQuoted:

Weird, we where never told to raise the hoods on our ambulances, despite the fact that sat idling in 120 degree heat for 8-10 hours some days, never saw a patrol car with its hood up either. VA not spring for the hot weather package on their rigs?

My police Cruiser was a base model with no super engine and no super transmission and no super cooling system just extra wiring for lights and siren oh yean and it was a base model Chevy 1500 pick up. Our normal car were taxi package (for the wiring harnesses) Taurus's that maxed out at right at 100mph.

I'm not arguing that and don't give a fuck either way. The officers on this board are way more qualified than me to argue that. I'll leave it to them. Personally, I do care about what happens with my tax money, especially when they say it is for a program that is supposed to increase accountability over government employees/make the truth more ascertainable in confusing circumstances. |

I thought the police interceptors had upgraded cooling systems to handle the additional stress.

I saw the post too. You know what I didn't see? The cars/people that they supposedly had stopped. The pictures were just of stopped police cars on the side of the road, by themselves, with the hoods up. Zero context. Quote HistoryQuoted:

That's why I didn't give the claim (it's a CONSPIRACY!!!!!!!!!!) much time. |
