I think the camera’s are needed to protect the police and the public. Too many times I have heard of police brutality in the precincts and sometimes they have cameras picking up the entire episode of what actually happened. If a prisoner is, in fact, being brutalized for no apparent reason, this needs to be stopped. If the shouts of police brutality is untrue, then the camera’s are there to act as a witness also. No one wants the police to have to be thoroughly investigated, put on leave, perhaps have incorrect issues on their permanent record just because someone is being an ass. Unfortunately, this is happening so much more, that the cameras are really necessary.
