Here in California too.

Note: The ACLU is on board with cops wearing lapel cameras.

I also wonder if video evidence is easy fodder for civil litigation. Just can't be the money since costs have come down significantly. Can't be just the unions of course.

Video keeps people honest. Both the Martin case and the Ferguson incident should it go to trial will have in common lack of video evidence (unless some surfaces of the actual shooting of Brown). In cases such as I have mentioned clear video would have answered
many questions. Unions, cost, civil litigation are not really issues when considered how critical video is for trials. As they say about x-rays, the benefit vastly ways out the cost.

There is this idiotic meme going around that says it was impossible for the shooting of Brown not to be captured on video since everyone has a smart phone. Just stop and think how moronic that idea is.

Unless of course you said something like that Beamon lol

Call me Sgt. Schultzie, though I am getting better with my iPhone camera. Of course all I shoot is gear, cat and dog. And they all pose for me.

I'm surprised I didn't end up in trouble with everybody for this...

Methinks my progressive brethren have begun ignoring my contributions.
