Past the Pilot Stage: Policy Makers Must Consider Impacts of Police Body-Worn Cameras beyond Accountability
2019
Overview
According to some studies, BWCs reduced civilian complaints against officers as well as use-of-force incidents, but causality is not established.7 This could be a result of citizens behaving differently in the presence of a BWC, officers engaging in more professional behavior, a combination of both, or something else altogether. [...]the officer may not remember later that Casey said, \"Sam hit me again,\" a critical detail that would indicate a history of domestic abuse. In Seattle, it is possible the video would have ended up on YouTube. [...]2016, the Seattle Police Department posted hundreds of redacted BWC footage to its publicly accessible YouTube account, at least in part to shoulder the burden of fulfilling records requests.14 In other states, such as North Carolina, legislators prioritized privacy. [...]discussions on the cost of hiring personnel to review, redact, and address public record requests may overshadow a broader accessibility policy debate.18 Transparency: Which Videos Are in the Public Interest Transparency is distinct from accessibility because it refers not to the ability for a single person to view a video but rather the expectation that a department will release videos deemed to be of public interest. Since the national movement to deploy body-worn cameras was initiated by advocates of police reform, fatal police-citizen incidents are widely considered germane to public interest.
