Surely The Way To Unshakle Our Police Is Body Cams?

[youngmafbog]

Rather than fill out a for for shouting at someone why dont they just wear body cams with the footage kept for a year or whatever is required?

Seems the powers that be look for any way they can to make the Police Force look like a Police Farce.

i already thought they had body cams, perhaps not, but yes its a good idea.

[EDDIE51]

All police now have 'Body Cams' as standard .
You really need to realise ''The Daily Wail '' is NOT a reliable source of information! It is aimed at people with the intelligence level of a 6 year old & has the vocabulary to match!

[emmie]

eddie as much as i like you, please don't think i have the intelligence of a 6 year old. Just because of what the Mail prints.

[EDDIE51]

ALL Police now do wear Body Cams & have done for several years!

[emmie]

as i said i thought they did, but happy that you have clarified it!

[EDDIE51]

I am NOT suggesting you do have the intelligence of a 6 of year old emmie. I am just pointing out that The Daily Mail has a set vocabulary that the reporters / writers are allowed to use. That vocabulary is what a normal 6 year old is expected to have.They actually have to ask permission to use words that are not on the vocabulary. I have had an artical published in The Daily Wail, and they sent me the vocabulary as a guide.

I agree -
the fact that the Daily Mail is fit for brayne damaged six year olds
says nothing about Emmie

no offence intended emmie

The daily wail (love that name!!) writes very suspect articles made up of such phrases as 'a source suggestes' and 'it was overheard at....' etc etc. aimed at pandering to certain groups within sociey. It is as bad as the news of the screws or worse as it target audience are those that will believe anything providing it riles them up. The mails on Sunday is the best comic going and raises such a laugh at the ludicrousness of its claims. Who, for example, started off the anti Meghan Markle mutterings....that's right!!

There's a great comment from a DM reader saying that if we think this is ridiculous (which I do), just wait until that Abbott woman becomes Home Secretary !!! Couldn't agree more ...

"ALL Police now do wear Body Cams & have done for several years!"

REally?

Can you point me to where that is. All I can find is the Home office looking to roll it out from 2017.

One of the many police programmes on TV now (Pick Channel 11) is about them wearing body cams, so yes they do wear them now, but not sure if it is all police forces.

[10ClarionSt]

What police would that be then? Never see any round here except when they go flashing past with blue lights flashing.

22,000 in London, it says here (no idea how many now, there may not be that many police in London these days)

[ummmm]

Don't take Eddie's word as gospel. He's more often wrong than right.

EDDIE51 // I have had an artical published in The Daily Wail,//

Lol. The irony.

Body Cams have been in use by the Police Force in the UK , for the past five years at least . Think Bogoff needs to get out more and stop being Influenced by TGT, OK,
