I’d rather have all that money go to local counties, fantastic pay (3x salaries of police officers, tax free), top of the line training, sophisticated tech and gear, amazing benefits like free education, free healthcare, free rations, state funded cars for all officers, and super capable cars and SUVs.

⁠@@jackhemphill7257check the price tag, the electric bill, the battery replacement and get back to me. Hybrids shut down the IC motor while the vehicle is in park and keep the electronics going and I can fill up my car in 2 mins. Check the numbers for how long these batteries last in the great white north. What are these lunches or breaks you talk about? Do you actually know the job or just someone that’s on the outside trying to put their .02 in?

How he gonna say if you’re an automotive enthusiast then this is your playground, but the conference is closed to the public? Makes no sense.

[@najthesavior4286]

Because a lot people despise police. No need for angry protestors or active shooter waiting to maul down a whole bunch of Defenseless LEO'S in 1 spot. I ganruntee u the viewers ain't concealing inside there, sitting ducks.

Not public but got all the peeks LOVE IT

[@reginaldmcclure2995]

Sounds about right. A cop not wanting anybody to be able to see what they're doing unless the cop wants them to see what they're doing. What are you afraid of? What are you worried about somebody? A chief clicking in to see what you're up to without you knowing about it

If I’m taking a shit, on a private phone call with family etc all kinds of reasons not wanting someone to eaves drop

I love how the Whelen guy tried to make the old 3M Opticom type technology sound new. It may be a new way to do it but, it is only polishing existing up a tad and I guarantee you, none of the primary components will be available anywhere else.

Outside of unions...how does having the fficer be able to turn off real time cameras make sense? My employer can listen to everything I do all day long without my input...why are cops any different? This is the opposite of tensparent. I know I do ride alongs....where the cops use their personal cell phones more than their radios. Its ridiculous. Don't get me wrong, the vilification of officers is driving much of this, but body cams are for the benefits of BOTH the good cops and the good citizens.

[@NickOFFDuty]

Every interaction with the public there should be policy that has to be captured for Officer. Outside of that, what is the purpose of turning on an officers camera whenever you want to? Please explain and provide examples?

[@onecrazeddawg]

Sounds like a cop hiding while on DUTY. Give us an example. WHY NOT?

[@NickOFFDuty]

@@onecrazeddawg it’s a simple question as to why? Please provide an example. If there is GPS in a vehicle and or on their body camera so you can monitor their locations at all times……AND it is policy for every interaction public to be recorded. Give me a reason as to why you need to turn on a camera at any given point?

[@onecrazeddawg]

@NickOFFDuty Why not watch what he officer is doing in real time while on duty?

[@NickOFFDuty]

@@onecrazeddawg what is the purpose?

[@damikey85]

Something about an all black or a black and white squad car is hella nice. Lord knows I would love to drive me on and off duty.
