$200.00. Make it part of the uniform allowance or something. Either way, this is the future. Won't be too long before NYPD drones are buzzing around the projects, it's only a matter of time.

The expensive part would be the cost of monitoring and discovery of the footage. But it could cut costs elsewhere, ie litigation, settlement and insurance costs.

In my career I've never stepped out of the car as little as I have in the last year. Until I have a camera I have no interest whatsoever in performing police work. That's the bottom line. I win, not you. That's how it works. Time to learn the truth of what happens when you give the government a monopoly on the use of force, something I vehemently disagree with.
I like cameras too. They will show how these incidents are started and who escalates them. These videos that the media shows are almost always edited to show cops in a bad light.

To play Devil's advocate, there's been instances where we had to rely on footage from police dash and body cameras and the files have come up "missing" or "corrupted".

I agree with the general consensus though, body cameras are good for everyone.

I've not come across that here on CD. Not saying that it's never happened, just haven't seen it. Can you post something to back that up?

Part of the reason they'd end up getting very expensive. You'd have to host the videos for at least 7+ years. Lawyers, Auditors and IT staff will need to be brought on payroll etc...
