Police rules set up body-cam footage for rare release

Accessing Toronto police body camera video isn't as easy as it seems. Mark McAllister explains why U.S. examples of footage being released within hours haven't happened here, and the roadblocks experts say stand in the way of accountability.

Law suits should come out of police budgets. As long as it's paid out of a general liability account the police will not behave correctly and safely

So what is the use of body-cams then ?

[lukekuty]

Laws that our own officers don't enforce. Sorry but you don't get to choose what you enforce and what you don't. Ontario is starting to sound like the Simpsons at this point...

With expanded powers given to police, all police cam footage must be immediately available to the public .... TO PREVENT ABUSE OF POWER AND POLICE BRUTALITY TRANSPARENCY AND ACCOUNTABILITY MUST BE FORCED because police will hide and erase and delay disclosure of police wrongdoing .... THE PUBLIC DO NOT TRUST POLICE TO DO THE RIGHT THING ...ACCOUNTABILITY IS A MUST, TRANSPARENCY IS A MUST ... AND FURING BAD COPS WITHOUT PAY IS A MUST.

How do you know when you're living in a police state?

so if police are public servants then they where body cams and should make all video available to the public from the mundane to the extreme . we have cameras watching every other employee the police should be no different

[g.c.]

Public employees... their actions are public business. For certain a member of the public was in the video, Police interaction with the public is ... obviously... public.

All Camara's should be lived stream
