a step back i don't come any closer. than you on camera as of now. stefan mail turns on the body cam he's required to inform the citizens virtually once again of the video recording. a sickly what happened was that this person was getting relatively aggressive. in my direction in particular so i decided to turn on the body cam for reasons of my own personal safety. he was getting too close to me and i wanted to prevent that i was hoping that he'd moderate his behavior and let the situation deescalate a little. and that's just the way it seems to have worked in the service or no one managed organize uncommented. after the initial year long test phase the officers in mines have had overall positive experiences with body cams they do seem to help diminish a general lack of respect. from often you have
10:21 pm
a situation where people see how far they can go. and they 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 c.n.n. on this vital. 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 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. are you deaf
10:22 pm
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. their 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. 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 that 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 given she 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 much. to do that many cases aren't processed completely. just babble to ben cohen aunt the one by i get when things bother me personally in court i have to put on the teflon and just take the abuse says a police officer. should study then you wonder if any judge realizes what the current situation is really like. are clearly the thoughts on started.
