Jesus christ, fucking RETAIL workers are on camera to make sure they aren't stealing money, why the fuck should cops be so butthurt about making sure they actually had reason to KILL SOMEONE
Speaking of such, they usually don't work, unless it is a speeding camera. In other countries they do have CCTV everywhere, but crimes still happen in front of the cameras.
surveillance camera footage is almost always used to help catch criminals that rob / burglarize public retail shops. That's the point of the camera is that you have more evidence of what happened.
If they even find the person to begin with. More evidence doesn't help when the evidence doesn't tell much if anything. Specially with bodycams with the shaking camera, wrong angle and low quality, usually less useful than surveillance camera footage.
Specially when you weigh in the costs. That little benefit for the cost of buying, setting up, maintaining the cameras, storing the footage, and having someone parse through them is something we have to pay. It is rather costly for the little benefits it does give us. Until we make the cameras better, cheaper, and actually useful ways to store them and look through them, cause as of now there really isn't any, they wont be as helpful as you guys think they are.
hasn't complaints of police brutality been down ever since they got introduced? ---
