enforce the nationwide use of body cameras on police officers

Created by O.L. on November 24, 2014

Body cameras should be standard issue for police officers. The enforcement of body cameras protects both the American citizen and the police officer. The implementation of body cameras would keep both sides on their best behavior and also increase the accountability of criminal disputes. With body cameras, the evidence becomes more detailed, and the decision more obvious.

Plentiful amount of research has already been performed on this movement:
