And in the case du jour, given that it wasn't police brutality moreover EMS non-feasance that was the major issue with Garner's death, how exactly did the comprehensive videotaping by John Q help?
The cop's lapel video wouldn't have shown much different.
The guy had a preexisting health issue and shouldn't have resisted arrest.
you're absolutely right - in the case of Garner, no crime was committed but what we have is video showing that the cop violated police policy (we can argue about whether it was a choke hold or not) by using something that looked like a choke hold.
Now if he was aware of that policy and had a body camera, I would ask - would he have used it anyways in subduing the suspect.
But it would have also shown they called EMS, and attempted to get the guy to respond while waiting on EMS to arrive.
Seems all citizens should have to wear a body camera too, if you are really concerned about people protecting themselves.
Lets make it a law!
you're not that far off.
almost everyone has a camera on them at all times now. As I've said multiple times - the danger is them recorded a partial event and presenting it out of context. That is going to continually happen.
