Body cameras are coming --- The last straw for many

[Unregistered]

Body cameras are coming here. Standby.

I'll tell you this, the day I am required to put on a body camera is the day I give my 2 week notice. CALL MY BLUFF! Many of my co-workers have already expressed the same. This will be the last nail in the coffin. This will be the the last straw. Actually, I guess it's wrong to say the body cameras issue is the "straw" that broke the camel's back. Because straws are light. But the issue of body cameras is the 2,000 pound anvil that will break the back of many deputies.

At least we have enough forrwarning to start preparing for that day. Plans are already being made for life away from this once great agency. This is a huge mistake, which will have a HUGE negative effect on this agency.

As much as I hate to say it, I am finally forced to admit that Doocobo knew what the f he was doing, with the body cameras issue. I really despise Docobo, but at least he said "NEVER!" This agency is going to lose a TON of deputies. And those who stay, standby for no privacy, suspensions, terminations, lawsuits, and even arrests based upon comments taken out of context, amongst other things.

Get your panties out of a wad. The majority of IA investigations result in clearing the accused. Do your job the way you are supposed to and you will have no issues.

What the Sheriff & Chief are overlooking, or simply don’t care, is that what the cameras represent is how trust between the Sheriff and his deputies has severely eroded! Thanks to the media, cell phones, weasels and training new deputies to dime everyone out for minor infractions that won’t compromise the overall mission of the office, is what did it! Law Enforcement has already taken too many steps back and the pendulum has swung way to far to the other side! A once proud profession holds no luster anymore! What a damn shame.

You are an idiot. How about trust be the office and the public. If you do your job what are you scared of? This job has never had luster, never.

Integrity used to mean something at this office you balloon-head! You just don’t get it, do you? Now how about you go and STFU! Of course right after you’ve finished your kool aid, jabroni.

If the cameras are there "to protect you" why are supervisors at the Sgt. And Lt. level required to review footage even when there was no complaint? "It is there to protect you" is B.S.!!! If someone is out to get you, they will review and question everything you did just like the media and public does.. it does not matter. They will be out to get you and question everything you do from the sideline. Either they will manipulate your actions against you to their benefit or make your life miserable until you leave. Discretion is gone. Helping someone who made a bad and minor decision is done. Just go ahead and make a bunch of Robocops to do the job. Forget "life experiences"... what does it matter. You break the law you get punished... cause if you don't, I will.

You are absolutely correct. Every law, including J Walking, will be enforced. EVERY LAW! Supervisor think we're too busy now with paperwork to take the next call... Hold my beer!

Oh that’s a lie. IA does nothing to clear deputies that come under scrutiny. You can do your job perfectly and still have issues. So your ass is delusional.
