This is exactly why pigs should not be allowed to turn their own body cams off and on. I say if it is off, you are, officially and legally, not a cop. Any time you have police powers in the 21st century it should be recorded.

THIS. Cops being able to turn off body cams to do illegal shit would be like if retail workers could turn off the security cameras to steal or beat up customers they don't like. Sounds insane, right? Exactly.

This is actually an excellent idea.

Now times this by 10000 that don’t have their body cams on . And that’s just the thieving, not including the killing ,beating , planting , and lying on reports .

I got robbed of $40 by cops once in Schenectady, NY. (Circa early 2000s)

I got pulled over one time n had $32k cash on me, in a bank bag w a receipt not even $20 minutes old. Totally legit money. They crumpled up the receipt like it never existed n seized the money as drug proceeds over a roach in the ashtray. Took me like 2yrs to get back. In the end since its was wrongfully seized the state had to pay all my attorney costs. Way more then whatever lil bit of interest they earned off it sitting in the bank for 2 yrs. Nobody ever got in trouble tho. The systems super foul.

Isn’t there a longer version and at the start the talk about turning the cameras off? And they couldn’t even do that right…
