How does the inside of a Baltimore police wagon look?

The 11 News I-Team gets an exclusive look at the new cameras now in place inside city police wagons

The city shelled out $187,000 for the upgrade in February.

It's a big step the Baltimore Police Department is taking toward 21st-century policing.

There are 13 older models that currently have the new configuration. Nine wagons are in the process of being replaced by these.

City police will now have more room to safely seat belt detainees. The new vans also have a side compartment to transport prisoners.

"This particular insert has six seats. It's just a larger space here. The older vans had a dividing line," Baltimore police media director T.J. Smith said. "If you have men and women, adult and juvenile, you can separate them inside the vehicle with having adequate space."

The ghetto rats are hating all this 21st century technology. Where as before they could lie and say they were roughed up or whatever with the cameras they can't. This is going to save the city 100's of millions in all the fake lawsuits they would end up settling before. No more hitting the Ghetto Lottery for the rats.
