Any deputy or officer who takes the position of "us against them" has just taken that roaming piece of jurisdiction around him or her back 50 years.<BR/><BR/>It can be both exciting and terrifying at the same time, doing any kind of police or security work that puts you in the real danger of being hurt or killed just to get your job done. I think many young agents of the law do indeed get toughened up by the military style academies, but they also can come out with a "kick ass now" and "ask questions later"[as jaw heals] attitude.<BR/><BR/>I think cops need to be UTTERLY RUTHLESS with those who would do them harm, or try to harm others within the presence of the deputy, but also only kick the ass of ONLY those who need it kicked.<BR/><BR/>The car-cams on every cop-car doing routine traffic stops has changed the way American cops watch their p's and q's; but they can still just tag an empty tape and say they forgot to press "record". For safety and ethics sake, why not outfit every cop with a small DVR/cam that records what he does and says, and sends the stream back to his wi-fi car, which sends it to dispatch for permanant record? I think P and Q minding would be at an all time high! <BR/><BR/>These little DVR/cam combos can be found on Ebay and are about 500 each. If APD/BCSD went and got one for each cop, they would get a wholesale discount I bet.<BR/><BR/>J H Lopez<BR/>Thanks for the Blog, great stuff!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-24946442.post-1166993017190082322006-12-24T13:43:00.000-07:002006-12-24T13:43:00.000-07:00Loyalty above all else; except honor. unk.Loyalty above all else; except honor. unk.ched macquigghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06433039009492338854noreply@blogger.com
