Many fellow citizens have expressed a strong interest in mandating dashcams and body cams both to protect officers from false claims of abuse, save money on no longer having to deal with frivolous claims brought about by claiming police impropriety, and prevent potential any actual abuses on the part of officers. Walmart has it's employees monitored on camera to deter theft, office harassment, and other unwanted behavior on behalf of its employees. We want to bring the same level of accountability that successfully promotes good behavior from all present parties to local and state police here in the commonwealth of Kentucky. Other cities that have begun outfitting their police department with body cameras (as well as offsite cloud-based storage for later review and records keeping) have seen a decrease in crime and complaints against their respective law enforcement divisions. We strongly encourage Kentucky to get in on the ground floor of this innovative new technology in an effort to lead by example in the state. This move has seen overwhelming public support where it has been tried, and has been lauded as the future of policing by the NYPD and LAPD. In South Carolina, the move to mandate officers be outfitted with body cameras has already been endorsed by legislation, now signed into law. This move can easily be paid for by a series of federal grants and charitable contributions. It has the effects of quelling abuse, implementing publicly auditable oversight in the form of evidence access, and will go a long ways towards improving the situation in our communities and police forces. Together, we can get ahead of the rising problem of frivolous lawsuits, police abuse and all the related controversy in America by putting our officers on camera when on patrol, and admitting such footage as evidence accessible by both parties.
