the officers in mines have had overall positive experiences with body cams they do seem to help diminish a general lack of respect. from holding them often you have a situation where people see how far they can go. and also i think they can handle a police officer a bit differently than they would otherwise in situations like that it's important to nip that in the bud and take direct action and say ok up to this point and no further it's the see him on this. when the police go off duty they hand the recorded video footage to their superior officer he has special software allowing him alone to copy save or delete the videos. where is your idea your marco and mr marco have you got a last name the body can records both images and sound. i'm not at all happy that you're here ruining the mood. so now i've got the camera turned on because of the
4:22 pm
color saying you're aggressive i'm not why you yelling here i'm not yelling at all now i'm going to search for your id papers no i don't have any idea hey are you deaf you dumb pig. along with discouraging abuse the body cams can provide conclusive documentary evidence of crimes even of crimes the police officers themselves have committed so the body cams not only protect the interests of the police but of the citizens they encounter. since their introduction violence against police officers has dropped by nearly 50 percent in mine but some criminal charges are still filed the document extreme hostility towards the police. to his cues behaved extremely aggressively threatening to attack the officers after he's released he spat on an officer and insulted all officers present calling them sons of bitches saying bang your mothers on your graves slots so he is remanded to the

custody of police station one he's aged 16 to be picked up at the station later by his parents but up court and the officers were only trying to stop a brawl. in another case from 2 days ago the subjects' began resisting a female suspect but it one officers arm and another's face and struck another in the chest to restore control over the situation at least 2 other subjects had to be pinned to the ground and restrained to fix it. can only speculate as to why disrespect resistance and abuse have generally increased. for one i'm sure something is lacking in their upbringing their parents may be unable to handle things these days and the courts have so my. to do that many cases aren't processed completely. with just budget when can i want the one by i get when things bother me personally in court i have to put on the teflon and just take the abuse as a police officer. study for then you wonder if any judge realizes what the current
4:24 pm
situation is really like communist and socialist elizabeth's own star showed. shortly afterwards the officers are back on the beat in downtown minds when they drive past 2 men one of them gives them the finger in germany it is a legal to insult an officer. running an identity check because he's flipped as the middle finger so we're checking them out and you can't do that it's not allowed you know if you've had even a minimal are bringing you want to know that this kind of thing isn't proper. for these officers in line has been crossed. when can you explain to me why you did that. the brothers have come to mind from switzerland to party. do you give officers in switzerland the finger as well and how do they react today like it when they discovered the officers ordered them to leave they have to vacate the area.
4:25 pm
with disrespect and violence directed at the police has soared to magically in recent years. 35 year old stefan male has also had his share of these experiences while on the beat at this site he once had to handcuff a teenager who was becoming extremely aggressive. and was cleared of always with things just as i was giving him instructions he turned around and spat in my face and. you can feel this incredible rage at that moment which of course causes a really strong discussed. spitting in someone's face as many fellow officers confirm it is what provokes you and gets you worked up inside most of all. and no amount of training can prepare a police officer for something like that. is up in india i yelled at him that way i got rid of lots of rage and emotion and that moment your human side really comes
4:26 pm
out. and it doesn't matter whatever you want to round is thinking and seeing for a moment your human self comes out and you can't control it. but ok you're not just a police officer that functions of the push of a button no matter want noise makes totally correct and emotion free decisions this to go on and what's on top on a night shift stephon mail and gavin spheres have to check out a group of teens. this day everyone staying here the lobby checking everyone's id. hey you stay right there you come down over going to have to come here everyone come over here. i lined a war over there once all the young men between the ages of 18 and 23 have no intention of letting the officers see their i.d.'s like that they stall and provoke every way they can. you stand over there yes do i have to raise my voice again.
4:27 pm
that's a provocation when i tell you to stand there 5 times and you just don't do it and here the officers tried deescalation tactics as long as they can without a body cam. almost all this understood you can't let a situation get out of control you have to show people their limits and they've reached the point where we're not going to take any more. than the insults metafile just saying i want to go home what are you doing there you're sleeping in a sense right why am i sleeping there when an alcohol test on me 1st call your mother told her i didn't do anything you should run an alcohol test this i know what you're doing you're grabbing my throat yes i'm backing un why buckle me and i want to go home you can't do that there. shortly after the officers are called to take charge of the man he was caught trying to get away the man is aggressive so the body count is switched on. now listen i'm turning the
