I believe that police officers should have body cams. The main reason why I say this because they can be doing something wrong or illegal with the way they do their job. For example, if a police officer is beating a citizen with no reason they can get that on tape and it’s not just for citizens protection it’s also for the officers protection. There has been many officers who have been hurt by others and they should be protected as well. And I understand the job can be dangerous but they could use those body cams for Justice for them and the people in my opinion.

How would you propose we balance the need for transparency and accountability with the right to privacy?

It doesn't matter where you are or might go there is going to be someone who miss uses something, this might something suc…  Read more
