POLICE BODY CAMERAS / Former Giants RB shot, captured on uniform lapel camera

[HairOfTheDog]

there are a lot of people who apparently don't support required body cams for police officers.

I don't understand why anyone wouldn't look at this as something positive for both sides.

I haven't discussed body cams with anyone outside of Mock, so I can only go by articles on the topic and comments attached to those articles.

From what I've read, the biggest objections are related to (1) civilian privacy if the footage is published and (2) abuse of footage by LEOs when they supply the context to prosecutors (LEOs using video to support a false narration of what really happened).

Here are a couple of articles about those concerns.
