“ We should check that that every police department in the country has dead body tv camera to memorialise interaction between officers on patrol and suspects , ” Clinton said . “ That will improve transparency and accountability , and help protect unspoiled multitude on both sides of the crystalline lens . ”
A turn telephone number of police force departments across the US are already screen or using body cameras , includingthe Los Angeles Police Department . The family of Mike Brown , the unarmed teenager killed by law in Ferguson , Mo. , has been vocal about fit police with body cameras .
Advocates say that recording police force action at law can curb ill-treatment and ensure evidence if it occurs . However , body camera are not a remedy - all , as my colleague Mario Aguilarpointed out . For evidence of abuse to occur into sport , footage call for to be admissible in court , but this has not always been the case historically . And footage is no skillful once erased ; we require foil rules forbid police department from deleting damning footage .
Clinton approves of President Obama ’s $ 75 million push button tohelp country buy 50,000 police body camera , and her decisiveness to take a stance so early on in her campaign suggest this is going to be a political issue .
