More Prosecutions, But Not For Police

“The introduction of body cameras is also having an effect on criminal investigations. But while many anticipated that camera footage would lead to more prosecutions of police misconduct, they’re instead being used more often against citizens.

In one study, 93 percent of prosecutors’ offices used camera footage primarily in prosecutions of civilians. Findings from three British studies similarly suggest cameras might play a role in raising clearance rates and producing more guilty pleas. Other reports showed cameras were particularly useful in domestic violence cases, leading to increased arrests, charges, guilty pleas and guilty verdicts.

Still, there’s no strong evidence that body cameras reduce crime. The most rigorous study the George Mason University researchers reviewed didn’t find any “general deterrent effects.”

“Agencies really have to think carefully about the goals they have for the cameras and whether they’re achieving those goals,” she says. “Just because it reduces frivolous complaints or helps prosecute crimes better may not necessarily do anything to the relationship between the citizens and police.”

Boswell and McMullen are anti-camera. Vote right on 8/18, and this will be a non-issue.

Another fact, NO Sheriff tells the people of this County what they want. If cameras are what they want, that is what they will get.

That’s because we haven’t had a sheriff yet with ballzzz! Stand-by!

And the BOCC doesn’t vote to give money for things the agency didn’t ask for. They’re not a charity group!

Why don't you and your ballz look back to the Nov 2018 thread on this forum. Pruitt WANTED BWC, the Sheriff DID NOT want them.
