It looks like the unrest in Ferguson will put policing on the public agenda for a period of time, which raises a host of related issues. I'll try to compile a list in a later post, but one issue is whether police should wear cameras.This - at least in theory - provides a visual record of what happens on the ground and helps clarify the nature of any confrontation that might arise.
Here are a few article laying out the arguments:
- Should Cops Wear Body Cameras? One Ex-Cop Says Yes.
- Petition asking cops to wear body cameras passes 100K.
- Body cameras on police — simple idea, complex ramifications.
- Dallas' Cops Should All Wear Body Cameras, Pretty Much Everyone Agrees.
- If Ferguson officer wore a camera: Our view.
That's plenty for now, we'll add to this - as well as look for other issues raised by the shooting.
