Gualtieri embraces body cams because of his own desire for absolute transparency

[Unregistered]

"Today is a big day. Recognizing the public’s desire for body-worn cameras and the sheriff’s own desire to maintain absolute transparency, 30 deputies from areas throughout the agency were outfitted with body-worn cameras for a field trial.
The field trial will help us work through logistics and draft policy which will lead to the outfitting of more than 800 deputies. The body-worn cameras will automatically activate when a deputy draws their firearm, turns on their TASER, and can also be manually activated by the deputy. The program will cost approximately three million dollars per year for the next five years.
Body-worn cameras are something that Sheriff Gualtieri absolutely endorses and embraces. He is listening to our community that overwhelmingly supports and wants these cameras and is committed to making that happen."

The one and only reason that Bob is going to body cameras is because he wanted the Democratic vote. No other reason he has been against them for many many many years.
