Require all police forces which receive federal aid to mandate recording of audio and video of all police actions.

Created by J.H. on September 27, 2011

The privilege and responsibility to enforce laws brings with it enormous potential for corruption. Police brutality and corruption are very destructive to a community. We now live in a world where the complete documentation of all actions taken by on-duty police officers is possible. While many officers record most of their interactions with the public, there are still many incidents that are undocumented and that result in a "he-said-she-said" legal situation. In addition to recording all interactions with the public, police forces must also readily and without resistance provide recordings upon request. These steps will help to re-establish trust in our police agencies.
