Accountability - who needs it anyway...

Can't have any evidence of those KFC bribes.
Duh.

 

[ISP cash cow]

Most probably no money for the cameras at the moment, and they don't want to say that before an election so, it is kicking the can down the road.

If you can't breathe and there's no camera there to see it, did you breathe not?

 

[DarkStarMonday]

well colour me surprised !!

 

[Heisenborg]

Poor planning or deliberate sabotage?

Yes

 

[Agent_Smith]

It's a real body blow...

whoever thought of this hare brained idea giving these idiots body cameras like its the LAPD
was it all just another Bribe/Tender generating opportunity?, or was it all just some electioneering kissing of babies?

I'm confused,

“The cybercrime investigation support members participate in symposiums and conferences focusing on cybercrime,” Cachalia said.

So they talk about Cybercrime. That's nice.

Man, US cops bodycam footage provide many hours of entertainment on YouTube, imagine the wild stuff we'd get to see locally.

These piglets can barely read and write and drive a car here..
Adding a body cam wont make much difference.
Will still be useless.

No, it would be entertaining, if they released it.
