Is There a Policy Yet?

  • Body cams are on the way to becoming as common equipment for police as batons and bullets. They’re sold to the public as a tool to improve accountability. But community activists are increasingly pushing back against police department policies that allow officers to view their cop cam video before writing their reports, even when force is used.

    “They may look for some reason to make the interaction within policy or a legal interaction in the first place,” said Fe Lopez, executive director of the Seattle Community Police Commission.

    [...]

    Among the changes aimed at improving officer conduct and transparency, every officer will be outfitted with a body cam. But the city and its court-appointed police monitor are battling in federal court over Seattle’s policy to let officers view the video before writing reports in all but the most serious use of force cases. In a court brief, monitor Merrick Bobb wrote: “Officers may get an inappropriate opportunity to ‘get their story straight’”

    Harlan Yu of Upturn Research has been studying body cameras and says they are not living up to the public’s expectations. “What Seattle and other police departments across the country are doing right now is creating an uneven playing field where officers get a structural advantage where they get to view footage and other eyewitnesses don’t,” Yu said.
God forbid you actually see a recording before making statements that might be used by armchair quarterbacks to judge an encounter that unfolds in tenths-of-seconds. Here's the issue we see with cameras:
  • the camera is pointed in a fixed direction - it doesn't swivel around like your head would in a dynamic situation;
  • the camera will be used to skew your interpretations of events - any deviation from something interpreted months later will be used to Rule 14 you and fire you;
  • anything missed by the camera will automatically be called a "cover-up" and used to impeach testimony, recollections, interpretations and the bottom feeding lawyers will claim every omission was deliberate, thereby smearing you and tainting all future testimony.
We see that all the time already with in-car cameras - why believe, even for a second, that body camera footage (or lack of) will be treated any differently?

Interesting side note. In New York City Civil liberty lawyers are trying to slow down the implementation of the officer cameras. Seems that they are afraid they will not show the progressive view of the racist police violating minority rights but the actual behavior in certain communities. Can't have the truth out in public can we. Their "official" concern is the violation of peoples civil rights by the videoing of the people by the police.

When on the stand in court you're allowed to review documents to refresh your recollection, why should it be any different when writing reports or giving statements. You're basically giving testimony as to what happened and you want it to be accurate. End of story.

I have watched a lot of these videos, many of them on Colin Flaherty's "Don't Make The Black Kids Angry" YouTube channel. The imaging I am seeing are up to interpretation by somebody with an anti-cop agenda. The technology exists that would go along way to fixing this problem. There are autonomous drones that are programed to follow someone around who are carrying a digital transponder link to them. Such drones follow above and with HD cameras that see everything even at night. Inside buildings a camera that is located in the position on a helmet such as is used in the US Military would be the best it would see what the policemen is seeing. Of course this will never happen.

This is not about getting one's story straight. It is about the opportunity for Defense Attorneys to have impeachable material. If the Body Cam shows what happened and the reports do not vary from what is in the video, they have less of an opportunity to attack the credibility of the officers in the incident. THEY have less wiggle room. It is only recently that defense attorneys do not want officers to be allowed to view video. They really believed the cameras would catch bad cops, but what they are finding is that the videos are more often catching bad clients and with corroborating video, their ability to provide a defense and plant doubt goes away with camera footage and corresponding reports. It looks like THEY are less effective and it is in their best interests to be able to play gotcha.

Have said this from the beginning that Body cameras are a huge HUGE HUGE invasion on privacy on officers, victims, witnesses and ordinary citizens. Its shocking that F O P and Deano and his crew were pushing these things and shocking that the majority of the public don't see how crucial and necessary the privacy between victims, witnesses, general public and cops is. This transparency Buzz bullshit is just a political, profit of money and votes and nothing more. Since when do cops or military have to be "transparent" 100% to a public that is exploiting that advantage. Its called a tactical advantage, we used to have, no more. Welcome criminals, sorry victims, you are not important any longer. Just as I don't tell a heart surgeon how to perform a surgery, why does Joe Citizen know everything about policing without attending a 6 month police academy. But I suppose everyone knows how to do a job better than the professional, doing it with zero experience or education in the field. Besides why does Chicago media obsess and obsess and obsess over police locally, its like a sick fetish of theirs, its as if they have no other material to investigate.........how about the corruption behind the mayor's desk for last 100 years? ! Look the other way, huh......

Me thinks the honorable Bobbie Rush (D) traffic stop video should be resurrected. This should be used as a national training video for law enforcement departments. We can see how irrefutable video evidence caught on camera of statutory traffic offenses which would result in citations for anyone else, somehow is overlooked for powerful politicians. The childish, immature, unprofessional behavior would be on display by one of those guys who write the laws but cannot follow the laws of the land. The public wants to exonerate and not sustain the time tested sterotypical allegations of unprofessional conduct by officers. His privilaged political status has shielded him from transparency and public review of his actions.

Release rhe video already. Bobbie Rush has effectively covered up his conduct to demean law enforcement and to suppress video evidence of his traffic crimes. If a video of a law enforcement officer committing traffic offenses were somehow not released the media, community activists and assorted radicals would advance the notion of a coverup. Double standard?

The bottom line to be taken from this is simple. The goofs who wanted body cameras was not for transparency. They wanted them to fire officers. Police view video footage all the time. Why can't they view footage that is attached to their uniform???? How is it unfair to view video footage to make sure reports are accurate????????

SCC you already hit the nail on the head about video. In the next year or two police won't be believed for anything unless its on video. Video has major flaws with camera angles and won't catch everything. Video will never catch furtive movements will on stops especially for traffic.

Oh crap! Lets change the rules and find some way to impeach the police officer and keep the video from being admitted as evidence. I got a better idea. Lets put all those police body camera videos on YouTube and let all America see what the problem is!
No, can't do that. Can't shine a light on what the democrats want to keep in the dark.

Why? Why would you get ripped to shreds? So if your doing say retail theft arrest wouldn't you watch the video first before drafting any reports? Say if you have a homicide arrest and it's on video wouldn't you review video before doing reports? It's the same as viewing any other evidence. So with your thinking if you get a UUW arrest you get one chance to look at the gun and that is when it is recovered on scene. You can't look at the gun to see the identifiers once back at the station. Without watching a video if there is one I say it would be an incomplete investigation

The reason why the police should first be allowed to view the footage is simple, because the police MUST make a statement to investigators, while the public has the right to forever remain silent. Because the profession of policing forces officers to give up their right to remain silent, it is only fair that officers be allowed to view any evidence that has the potential to be used against them.

This policy was created by defense attorneys and ACLU to give them the legal upper hand.
It would give them an opportunity to setup what-if's or should-have's.

Police review evidence and determine evidentiary value, only then is it held for investigative needs.
Does all body cam images have value? Let ALCU first determine that...sure ok.
Suppose nothing was recorded on a body cam because of malfunction or obstruction?

No PD agency should allow anyone discretion to view evidence until it's in a court proceeding.
Rahm will cave in and allow it. He's seen video before and doesn't want more headaches before the 2019 campaign season begins.

This is what happens when you let criminal defense dictate the law.
It better if everyone just stops engaging in ghetto,affairs, no chases, no video.

When you guys do get your cameras be sure and find out what kind of lens is on it and what the focal length is. What the camera records is not what your eye is actually seeing. In most cases things appear farther away than they are. Defense attorneys are picking up on this and trying to make guys look bad by saying the recording is not like the officers report. So your answer on the stand could be, "Of course it's not, you idiot, it was filmed using a focal length of xxxx and that distorts this image to look father away." Make sure you/prosecutor understands how the camera is not "to scale" when it's recording and how to explain that to a jury.

With a camera you are going to want and try to verbalize more instead of just making the mental notes or written ones later for your report. The recording will give you a chance to "testify" while things are happening. You can get some great stuff to make sure the bad guys go away for a long time. Most times, people forget they are being recorded and they will keep running their mouths and dig the hole deeper and deeper. All you have to do is be smart and say the right things. Recordings have saved me more than they have caused me trouble from an agency not so much unlike yours. Figure out how to use them to your advantage and be safe.

Exactly. It is much like watching CPD officers calling for the 72 hours that the feds get. It is funny how when EQUALITY is the standard, meaning the same rules apply to everyone, the conflicts suddenly begin to vanish.

Great point about having it understood that cameras do not show EVERYTHING. They sure don't but lets not forget that sometimes they show too much too. As I watch Live PD, a LOT of "camera issues" come up. From the mechanical failures to the need to switch views/other officers cams to the entry into peoples' homes on a domestic violence call or the yards of people's homes on a foot chase. It is WAY to much to ask of a police officer to be "nice" to your fence as they chase a violent thug through the neighborhood. Just suck it up and file a claim if there is damage and the taxpayer will pay for it. Yeah, yer dang flower bed too.

We need to have a SERIOUS and open discussion - ONGOING- when it pertains to these cameras. After all, the HONEST among us will not reject this conversation so long as TRUTH is told, from all sides about all issues. For crying out loud man, I have actually seen people oppose on and off capability and tuning out the whole BATHROOM BREAK factor. Just knock it off, cops gotta take a leak too -and NO not on camera!

Cameras can be a good tool, just as a gun or a tazer or a radio is a good tool, but notice that NONE of them is the end all be all. When someone tries to frame it as such, they must be called out as being dishonest about that.

Just viewed that Bobby Rush video. What an embarrassment the congressman is. "Its government plates." " I was in the city council for nine years." " I want your name and badge number."

I would have wrote this clown, prepared for the backladh and forced him to make those connected corrective phone calls. So many not so privilaged people would have received personal service citations on a regular key date at traffic court. The officers were very professional when facing a known sly former gangbanging black panther advisary who flaunts his power with threats of retaliation. Someone mentioned it earlier, an excellent training video.

A police officer would have been suspended for failing to follow traffic statutes and been issued citations. A member of Congress gets a pass and then threatens officers who risk their lives in his violence plagued perpetually-unemployed community. Thank you officers for keeping the lid on the 1st Illinois Congressional District trash can. And to think this guy defeated Brock O'Bama.

The accountability should go both ways. I'm tired of seeing offenders caught on body camera coming crimes and STILL having cases not being pursued by the states attorneys office. Citizens and police should be held accountable for doing wrong, but it appears that only the police feel the repercussions of doing wrong on camera.

Rising up Angry comes to Cook Co States Attorney Office -

KwamishaFxWinkle just introduced bill to have state prosecutors get another look over of all CPD fatal shooting incidents, in addition to her own opinions. Seems she needs help diciphering case law, typical law school scholarship dilemma.
She's really going all out and wants to make sure she can solidly put a case on you.
Who's running the Murder Capitol and calling the shots with Rahm ...

You're on your own hardcharger, no viewing the body cam footage and prosecutorial 2-fer chance to put you behind bars.
Roll those bones or Get Fetal. Before it's too late.

Mmmmm-Hmmmmm...

When enough hard-chargers get cooked
in the anti-Police jackpot then cry about "We don't
support our own" when bundles of tickets
for the "I stepped on my pee-pee real hard"
benefits remain unsold.

We ARE supporting our own by telling
you guys to STOP being adrenaline junkies
and stop chasing dude.

Stop taking this ghetto guerilla
theater personally.

The most important ones in this bad mix
are The Police so act accordingly and
preserve and protect yourselves only.

Too many of you aren't trying to hear it.

This ain't 1985, 1995 or even 2005...
Wake the fuck up. Policing has been
forcibly re-booted in this town.

Policing ain't fun anymore.
Policing is all about survival
and self preservation.

Funny how the company whose product(taser/axon)is probably responsible for millions of dollars worth of lawsuits to municipalities in regards to the use of their product-is the company providing body cams to departments across the country. follow the money...

Simple solution. Due to the stress and trauma of the incident I am unable to recall what actions I took at this time. If I were to view the video it would give me insight, until then I do not recall."

This. Either the system can depend on humans or it can depend on cameras. But they want to pick whichever one fries the copper more.

Body cameras are great.... bye bye invisible institute....

Think I used excessive force? look at the camera ... the force was justified.....

I planted evidence?.... check the camera the defendant dropped it and admitted to having it.....Yes, miranda was given on camera........

I said profane, racist language? check the camera.... wrong again....

Cameras can be used to our advantage. They are being used throughout the country so it only makes sense to dive into this and start learning how to make it work for us.

Answer is simple...give them no body cam footage. Don't chase the guy with the gun, roll lights and blaring sirens to every domestic so wifebeater can escape, don't do any stops, and let the city fall through its own sink hole to the point where Rham gets fired and the people resort to their only option...THE POLICE TO BE THE POLICE.

Not a simple solution. My suggestion would be for the FOP to invest a few bucks with a top defense lawyer or two and see what their suggestion is. Then basically have a prepared statement available to the membership.
Your statement appears fine, but it would be better to run it through a lawyer before rather than after you make it
