The new studies, published simultaneously Tuesday by the European Journal of Criminology and the Journal of Experimental Criminology, show that the jury is still out on the effectiveness of body cameras, raising questions about how they should be implemented by law enforcement.
On average, assaults against police officers increases by 15 percent when body cameras are worn, according to the new research. In addition, the rate of violence imposed on citizens by officers remained largely unchanged. However, if officers turned their cameras on and off during their shift, using the technology at their own discretion, the likelihood they would use physical force spiked.
But, if the officers left their body cameras on throughout the duration of their work, the rate of violence decreased.

When an officer has on a camera, the rate of assault on citizens by officers drop. The report must be backed by police unions. No camera, the officers use excessive force at a good clip. With camera the officers may be less inclined to use force, but the attitude is still spewing from the mouth. Hence more smack downs by citizens putting them back in the protect and serve mode.
Well the cameras are no good if they cops can turn them on and off at will... Furthermore I have seen a video where a cop was trying to subdue a man who appears to act crazy some with a hammer but just runs away from cops... The cop covered his camera, on purpose or not as the other cop shot this man... What good is the camera if the cop can put his hands over it and cover what is being done? Also, what good is the camera if the camera is not pointed in a good direction or if a cop is running and the dang thing bounces every where?
As far as this article is concerned, I believe it is a farce... No one is going to attack a cop just for having a camera... Also, it is proven that the reason for the attack on cops more and more now that ever, is because of how they treat people though out their interactions with the pubic... These people along with their fellow officers and the courts are all corrupt, these cops get paid to ruin peoples lives versus saving them... People have no where to turn to anymore because the judges and court system is corrupt and nothing can be done if a rouge cop abuses you...
The truth of the matter is, it is all sad and sicking because not only do the cops not see what they are doing as wrong, but most of you citizens don't think anything bad a cop does is bad... Until it happens to you of course, then your tune changes...
You are correct. Criminals can't lie anymore. Great law enforcement tool.
Seems like a conclusion needing an explanation.
524, Here's your "explanation",

It depends on who you ask. Are police second guessing their choices to react or are they saying this so they don't have to wear them.
They are saying this because when they turn them off, there is an assault.
One only needs to wonder who "perpetrated" the assault.
Get it?
lmao, how much did they pay for this study? total BS!
