Cameras On Cops Will Protect Both Sides

For years police departments have used dashboard cameras to record every move officers make in the line of duty.

Emerging Trend: Police Tampering Surveillance Systems: Half Of LAPD Squad Cars

Should Cops Be Made To Wear Video Cameras?

I believe the quality and size is already good enough. You are right that cameras help protect officers from false accusations, will help obtain convictions, and discourage attacks on LEOs, but the general trend is for Law Enforcement Unions and organizations to resist all attempts to make officers more accountable. "The LE2 is the most widely used wearable police camera designed specifically for law enforcement. The LE2 easily clips to a police or security uniform to record the actions of the wearer and those around them. The LE2 uses our proprietary VERIPATROL

Troy NY Proposal Says Cops Can’t Stop People Videotaping Them

Troy City police officers would face a fine and jail time if they to stop people from legally photographing or filming them under an ordinance created by the City Council’s Public Safety Committee . Councilman Robert Doherty , the committee chairman, said the law would be drafted and presented in the months ahead. The proposed ordinance arises from two police brutality lawsuits filed against the city in U.S. District Court by James Fahey and Brian Houle . "No longer will we have citizens brutally attacked for photographing or witnessing police activity, such as happened with Mr. Foley and allegedly, Mr. Houle," Doherty said in a statement at the committee meeting Wednesday. "The administration and police leadership are now on notice that any citizen is authorized and encouraged to witness, photograph and attest to police conduct at any time they choose without interference," Doherty said. "To assure this right is advanced with enthusiasm in a clear, enforced policy, I will seek to enact an ordinance to affect this in Troy," Doherty said. The city settled its lawsuit with Foley for $90,000. Houle’s $3 million lawsuit against the city is stilling pending. An attempt to resolve Houle’s suit in February through mediation was unsuccessful, according to federal court records. The proposed ordinance would carry a maximum $5,000 fine and a jail term of up to 15 days for an officer found guilty of violating it. The proposed law comes as the city deals with the fallout of the melee between police […]

FirstNet: America’s New Surveillance Network

FirstNet: America’s new surveillance network raises grave privacy concerns While the system has already been tested in a handful of states, and 2014 will likely see it rolled out further. According to a series of presentation slides from December last year, FirstNet will be the “MOST secure wireless network ever built,” sitting entirely separate from the commercially run networks that everyone, including first responders, uses today. This will give FirstNet greater reliability in situations where networks come under extreme pressure, such as when tens of thousands of people contact loved ones during a terrorist attack or natural disaster. It makes sense to have a dedicated network just for first responders during these sorts of events. Thanks to the network being based on the super-fast 4G protocol, it will also allow for a new wave of novel technology. One application is that after ‘tagging’ a disaster victim with a small device, patients’ vital signs can be monitored from a control centre, allowing medical staff to keep an eye on who needs treatment the most at any one time. But FirstNet will also give local law enforcement the ability to take digital “fingerprints from the field,” record and share highquality video, and instantaneously marry these freshly sourced data with others over the network. In the video above, a demonstrator uses facial recognition software on a tablet; finds out if the target is in a linked database, and is immediately provided with a wealth of information on him. Of course, having a […]
