Personally, I love dash cams. 9 times out of 10, they protect us from bs claims by dirt bags. And if you do nothing wrong, you don't need to be worried about being filmed on the job or it being public record. I hope they do become public record.



100% common sense and reasonable!! cool

They need to become mandatory, and need to have good sound quality along with the video.

Both parties to a stop are then protected.


Agreed! Now, who's picking up the tab? We were asked to come to the table with a 10% (IIRC) decrease in budget. Adding cameras to cruisers certainly isn't in the cards.

When the Tasers were forced on us, we demanded cameras be added. We asked for a camera in the booking room for a long time prior to it being added. I'm all for a camera in my cruiser, but I don't think it's a high priority for my residents. They're the only opinion that matters.........
