Haha, will they be turned on? That’s a rhetorical question, don’t answer.

With an off switch, no doubt.

What if this policy is used to gather visual data to train an AI model to generate false attacks on ICE in one calm area to justify escalation in another hot area?

This would give them free rein to attack a peaceful neighbourhood based on the AI false flag attack and to escalate tensions between peaceful protestors in another part of the city / country.

Narrator “they turned the cameras off”

Because, you know, we don’t want the cameras to always be on. What if something happened and they need to shoot a sassy mom in the face for driving at less than 5 mile per hour?

Happens every day, that is why our agents fear for their lives. Have YOU ever seen a car going 5 miles an hour? I doubt it, hippy

Back in the Naughties, I thought this approach would matter, would rein in police abuse.

I didn’t understand that police violence and mendacity were systemic, cultural problems, not evidentiary ones.

…and other stupid lies only brain dead bootlickers belive.

Who cares, we’ve already seen video of them shooting people for less than good reason and not a fucking thing happened

Put a QR code on their backs too. And take their damn masks off.

And, tell them to follow the fucking law and the constitution.

That’s great! They’d never murder someone on camera!

Now more than ever, people need to be out on the streets, documenting everything these fucks do. Get it on video, from every possible angle. Don’t let them control the narrative.

Body cameras are not to protect the people and are not about accountability. Unmask them all. We will need their identities when we get to the end of all this.

Dems are gonna call this a huge victory, of course they need more funding, they have to pay for more body cams.

And coincidentally all the cameras are broken.

Solar powered.

Really leaning into their snuff films now instead of looking for public views.
