I think instant dismissal of arrests made or tickets issued where a cop muted his microphone should be mandatory

[@sydhamelin1265]

Yes, there need to be mandated punitive measures for officers who do that. Not only that, but ANY instance where the cam is off, or muted, should be used AGAINST the officer in court. Meaning, if someone says the officer was being physically abusive, and the body cam was off, it should stand almost as an admission of guilt, UNLESS there was legit malfunction. Some severe measures need to be taken. Body cameras were all about people making sure the police aren't abusing authority, so they just turn them off.

[@darinthompson2179]

Why would he turn it off, does he have something to hide ???

[@burke615]

This is why "Duty to Intervene" laws must be a priority. The other officers on scene who didn't end the misconduct are as guilty as the sergeant.

[@fearalice]

Couldn't agree more. On top of ending qualified immunity, officers who see this and do nothing should be charged as well. For one: aiding and abetting as well as conspiracy are crimes, and for two: They are officers who chose their line of work and voluntarily took an oath to uphold the law, they should know better. Make it a crime to cover up your buddy's dirty work and maybe we'll finally see an end to this crap.

[@ganoraks1156]

California just passed several laws for police reform. Including an obligation to intervene whenever another officer uses excessive force, deprives citizens of their rights etc. If the other officers on scene DO NOT intervene when they should, they can be charged with the same crimes as the offending officer. This is big change. I hope more states adopt these laws

Officers shouldnt be allowed to turn off their microphones. There should also be some kind of limit for the camera, like once you turn it on, you cant turn it off for 30 minutes.

[@Juwlz]

@Fk KZbin I see your other comments, and you seem confused. This is a CHILD. He is not a criminal, he is a scared kid on a golf cart. I'd like to remind you that innocent people get treated poorly by police all the time, and I'd imagine you would be quite upset if this happened to you or your child someday. I have a rare medical condition and I had to have something called a picc line, which is a more permanent IV in my upper arm, to get infusions 12 hours a day, every day. I was in my early 20s and me and my spouse went to Kroger. I always tried to hide my PICC line in public but somebody must have noticed it while I was putting my coat back on to go into the store. Some moron called 911 claiming someone had a IV to do drugs with. A PICC line doesn't look like a IV, it's purple and goes into a deep vein and was placed way up on my upper arm. Police pulled us over, treated us horribly and didn't stop once they realized I had a picc line and it was a misunderstanding. Instead, they asked to search the car and refused to give me my coat back. I sat down outside in the freezing cold(Michigan in November) while they searched our vehicle all because some idiot didn't know what a PICC line was. I weighed under 85lbs due to my medical condition. There was no reason for how I was treated and while I was too mortified by the experience to file a complaint, I really should have. It doesn't make me a snowflake to believe that it's wrong to make a frail, seriously ill woman freeze outside and treat her like she is dangerous scum, for having a PICC line. I've never done drugs, I don't even drink, I'm so law abiding my own mother calls me a "goody goody" and suddenly I have two cops yelling for me and my spouse to get out of the car, refusing to explain why, aggressively pushing up my spouses sleeves with zero explanation and then being yelled at while I tried to explain what a PICC line is and having my car searched over existing as a infusion patient?! I happened to be a innocent person, but had I been a drug addict? Even they don't deserve to be treated the way we were treated during that stop. After it was all over, the cops tried to be nice and it was so confusing. You can absolutely enforce the law, without making people feel like they are trash

The fact that the leadership did nothing goes to what I've been saying. It's not "bad apples". The roots if the tree are rotten. If that was not the case, the bad apples would get routinely rooted out. They don't, they get commended. Good officers are routinely reprimanded for pointing out the misdeeds of their fellow officers. That has to change.

[@Del_S]

The whole phrase is "one bad apple spoils the barrel", but somehow the meaning has been twisted as if to wave off the fact every barrel seems to have bad apples in them.

[@HumanPerson_final]

You can tell the female officer knew it was wrong when he described his plan, but calling out a coworker and superior is not an easy thing to do especially in a corrupt environment where such action isn't reprimanded without media attention.

[@TheSiprianus]

At what level of corruption do we start calling her guilty because she just let something not just morally wrong but actually unlawful happened because it's 'not an easy to do'? I know you didn't say that she did the right thing but you also didn't say that was a wrong thing, to make us just focus on 'it's hard for her too'.

[@HumanPerson_final]

@@TheSiprianus I was more just pointing out, as others have, how difficult it is to take action against a coworker even if you know it's the right thing to do. Especially if you're at the bottom of the totem pole and are calling out someone who is your superior. Sacrificing your career isn't something that's ever easy to do and our perspective from behind our keyboards are more idealistic than what generally happens in reality. She could have also been thinking "how is this clever when the kid was riding around in an open golf cart already?" Regardless, if things were fair, all cops who participate in such behavior would face reprimand or be fired. They often protect their own, though.

Staying silent when witnessing child abuse is as bad as doing the abuse itself imo. You have to be a pathetic coward to do such a thing.

It’s not only intimidating, as a cop it’s downright factually dangerous. Look up “LAPD officer dies in training accident” you’ll see why. Every retired cop who’s being honest talks about hearing stories where a cop reported another cop and wound up dead. They really do operate like organized crime

The state should not say what age a person can drive. My child is 12 and because I trained her how to drive from a young age, she can drive better then almost all adult drivers. But my brothers kid who is 17 still does not have a drivers license because she’s very immature. Parents should decide what age their kid drives and if they can pass the driving test put up by the state if a 12-year-old 11-year-old 13-year-old wants to drive let them. It’s time to get our freedoms back in for the parents to choose. I was driving on public roads without a license because my pops is running a business and needed truck drivers and I remember being 12 years old following my dad driving a big ass truck.

One thing that needs to change is regulations about body cams. They need to be federal law, and they need to be recording all the time. We have the ability to redact things that aren't pertinent, but they don't get the ability to scheme or do shady stuff by turning off or muting body cams. The redactions need to happen by a 3rd party as well.

[@jessicataylor7174]

Alternatively, 'failure to record' legislation where a mere suspicion of it being deliberately or negligently turned off, muted, or not turned on when it should have been is a mandatory fixed prison term. This would result in them being able to turn it off to use a toilet but they'd make sure to keep it running all the rest of the time. Being unable to turn it off while using the bathroom would likely violate their right to privacy.

[@austinhernandez2716]

I'm sorry, but they have been proven to have no significant effect except in a few cases. Lots of time they turn the camera off or cover it up. It doesn't seem to stop them from doing this either. Qualified immunity is what needs to end.

@@austinhernandez2716 that's why I said they shouldn't have the ability to mute or turn them off.
