Also, bodycams were always a cop wishlist item. They control the footage, does anyone think if ICE had bodycams there would be transparency? Of course not, there would be a ton of “malfunctioning” bodycams when they did some shit, and in any case where a civilian showed even a hint of resistance or that they might fight back, the footage would be used to bury them.
For some reason police body cams malfunction a lot when they are shooting clearly innocent people and on ocassion corrupted footage becomes visible after the trial has acquitted the cop...
If the bodycams came with a law that said that in case of malfunction of the bodycam the one to be trust is the civilian all those "malfunctioning" bodycams wouldn't have any problem working right.
Yea it should be the body camera footage vs the civilian testimony. The cops shouldn't even get to tell " their side". Camera wasn't working? Guess the civilian testimony is 100% true.
