購置隨身攝影機 Body Cam 避免執勤爭議

有別於警車上的行車紀錄器,隨身攝影機可以有效錄下執勤狀況,防止執勤爭議。
塞麗娜警察局長稱讚該局所購置的隨身攝影機錄下這此一可能被大眾誤解為過度使用武力的逮捕吸毒犯勤務事件影片。

比較兩段影片,一段是警車上行車紀錄器拍攝的,一段是隨身攝影機所拍攝的,若無隨身攝影機拍下嫌犯揮拳毆打員警的影片,這名員警有可能被控過度使用武力。

Chief: Assault of cop, takedown of suspect proves utility of body cams


Police chief is praising his agency’s investment in body cameras after a video captured an incident that may have been misconstrued as excessive force


By PoliceOne Staff
CELINA, Texas — The police chief of the Celina Police Department is praising the agency’s investment in body cameras after a video captured an incident that may have been misconstrued as excessive force.
NBC-DFW reports the officer in the video responded to a domestic disturbance when a struggle occurred. 
The department released a video capturing the takedown from two angles — one from the officer’s dash cam and a second from the officer’s body-worn camera.

In the dash cam video, it appears the officer takes down the suspect, high on heroin, “for no reason,” according to the department. 
The body camera tells a different story. As seen in the video, the suspect throws a punch at the officer in an attempt to escape. 
A vehicle in front of the pair blocked the dash cam’s view of the assault.
"I think the future of policing is transparency," Police Chief Mark Metdker told NBC-DFW. "Let's be as transparent as possible. We have nothing to hide."

The man was arrested without further incident.
