Quote History Quoted:
Wait until they take discretion away from the police….that will be the next “mandatory arrest”.
But I will say this: police are the end of the line….they have a choice on how to handle each incident on its own weight. They don’t make the laws, but they DO take an oath and there are those in LE that are just as politically motivated as the very politicians who make these unconstitutional laws.
Stay frosty….trust no one

This is the double edged sword of body worn cameras.
Think they are just for being able to win law suits against false claims?
Nope. They are audited to see whether the officer is using descretion, listening to songs that might look bad, generally making sure the entire 8-12 hour shift is letter of the law.
And that is all internal before anything is requested by cop watch types under freedom information act.
The ability for cops to weigh spirit of the law versus letter of the lae is going away. Departments are requiring that before an officer acknowledges a call to say "enroute" they are to push record then put themselves enroute. Beginning to end of call all recorded.
California wants even more like stupid field interrogation cards that record all the minority special interests data from every stop.
All the new officers that are coming in will be indoctrinated to "that's just the way it is." All the old school officers will be pushed out and there will be no descretion.
