The lawyers who sued New York City to force reforms in stop and frisk practices have asked the federal judge overseeing that case to halt the NYPD’s planned rollout of body-worn cameras until changes are made in the way they are used.

In a letter filed late Wednesday with Manhattan U.S. District Judge Analisa Torres, the lawyers said the current plan should be amended to prohibit privacy violations by barring police from running recordings through facial recognition software or databases for investigations.

They also told the judge the NYPD plan gives officers too much freedom in deciding what encounters they have to record and at what point they tell civilians they are being recorded, and improperly allows officers access to the recordings when preparing their reports.

"improperly allows officers access to the recordings when preparing their reports."

In other words,  they don't want the officers report to reflect the details caught in the footage.


Yeah.. go fuck yourself.  ACLU wanted the same bull crap.

The same thing that happened with the dash cams.  

1 - Get stopped.  Act like a dick to the LEO who is professional the entire time.   Get a ticket.

2 - Call and make a complaint.  Accuse the LEO of calling you the N word, beating you, and threatening to lynch you.  

3 - Let's go to the videotape.  Umm, maybe we shouldn't have suspended him right away......

4 - The agency expects the officer to tolerate this and avoids prosecuting the complainant.  

5 - LEO retains his own attorney who then induces the agency to enforce the law.

The video footage, coalesced and databased, will allow studies on behavior patterns of certain groups based on ethnicity, geo location, etc... This data is extremely volatile as it will diminish the narrative of police brutality and expose, in a somewhat irrefutable manner, that savages walk amongst us.  Bigs leaps are being made in video analysis. That's what the ACLU is afraid of...that the cams aren't going to end up being a club to beat cops with but rather are going to illustrate what cops actually deal with.

Sounds like they know that their claims of police misbehavior weren't as valid as they made them out to be and body cams would expose a lot of the bullshit that leads to these encounters going sideways.....and that would likely paint their "supporters" in a fairly negative light.

Don't get me wrong, there are some cops out there that make the whole profession less respectable........but cops know who those bad apples are.  Time to root them out so that people can start regaining trust in their LE.  Certain segments will never trust LE, because they don't like the law being enforced on them.......but most people just don't want to get a asshole cop.

The cameras work against the bad apples as well.    

Anytime cameras have been used, they have been to the benefit of the truth.

And the truth is that there are cultures and communities in this country that not only act wholesale like complete savages, but feel completely entitled to do so.

They bring up some decent points with the facial recognition thing but then go out into left field with wanting to prohibit the officer from viewing it.

I have concerns about how the video is protected, but the officer reviewing for his report and the supervisor...supervising his officers are two good reasons to access the film.

I am inclined to say that if the officer has access to the video when filing a report (more accurate reporting), WE should also have immediate access to any of the videos.  It might actually stop some riots if they would IMMEDIATELY release video of a reported "incident" before people start rioting (pipe dream I know, but...)

IMHO, the only people that should have easy access to body cam footage is the officers on the call, their supervisors, and the parties involved in the call*.  Anyone else should have to show a judge a compelling public need for the video.

Body cams have access to too much personal information to allow them to be easy for the general public to access and editing video to blur private information would be too onerous.

It's funny, in the past when I pointed that out I was accused of JBTery...    And of course people get butt hurt when I ask if THEY would be ok, with their Sister or daughter's domestic being available on YouTube, complete with bruises and bleeding, or THEIR Grandparent perched dead on the toilet fir the world to see....or a thousand other truly shitty things.   I have ZFG if someone involved in a job can get access to the film, but to make everything public, like many were screaming about after Ferguson,  most places would need half a dozen people just to redact the stuff that's required by law.  The amusing  aspect was it took less than a month for ACLU to do a 180 on the whole thing...mainly because it was already plain that the "Rampant Corruption and Abuse" they were predicting not only did NOT come to pass, but the footage was proving the in the vast majority of times the cops were acting properly.

Once the video is downloaded, the software logs each time the footage is viewed and by whom.
I don't see a reason that officers shouldn't be able to review footage while writing reports.
If footage of a call involving female nudity is viewed 100 times by random officers obviously there's a concern.
I don't watch any of my  footage because I barely have time to write the reports as it is. I'm not going to sit there and watch video in real time as I'm writing a report.
There simply isn't enough time in the day for that

Nope. It cuts both ways. if the citizens can use the recordings against the police for rights violations, either supposed or otherwise, then the police can use them, too. I don't see it as anything different than looking through a mugshot book, only faster.

Too easy. Leave the cameras on during the entire shift and make a public announcement about it.

This one I don't get. It would mean more accurate reports. What is wrong with that?

That can also go both ways. Ofc Smith uses the video to write a more complete and accurate report...or Ofc Smith sees that the PC was not there and cuts him loose. Along your lines of thinking, if the perp is arrested for Crime A, but upon reviewing the video Ofc Smith realizes that Crime A did not happen, but Crime B did, can he not then amend the charges? I am not talking about trumping up some half-baked asshattery as a justification for the arrest, but an actual crime.

Obviously, there would have to be some form of oversight, maybe an independent review of the videos in arrest cases.

And I am concerned that the defense attorney will be looking for "ah ha!" moments in the report vs footage.

My reports would say "See footage for details on this case."
