Re: That's not too bad
"As other have said, the worry is when they turn it off. Why even give officers that ability?"
How about when taking the intimate sample from the rape victim? Think she's going to want that on video?
Or explaining to a four year old why mummy is in the ambulance and daddy is being taken away for a while.
Or whilst asking the local "youth" to grass on the rival gang members.
Or passing granddad's death message.
Body worn is excellent. It is absolutely wonderful for making Mr "I know my rights" go away or for making drunk people decide that they'd rather not have a fight but it isn't always appropriate.
It's also quite hard to find cameras with 12 hour cold weather battery endurance.
Please, please. Most of you here have no idea at all what it's like outside of your cosy middle class world. You have probably never attempted to find the motorcyclists missing torso or attempted to hold his spleen out of the mud for 2 hours waiting for the ambulance whilst being spat on and filmed for YouTube. Especially not any of you who might be Specials!
