we speak different languages we fight for different things that's fine but we all stick up for freedom freedom of speech and freedom of press. giving freedom of choice global news that matters w made for minds. hardly a shift goes by without a physical assault. police officers are experiencing violence more and more often. now some german states are hoping body cams may help deescalate that trend worn on the uniforms the cameras record the encounter and may discourage potential attackers. that's the idea anyway.

minds the state capital of a fine land collaton it giving shias and stephon male are going on t.v. the 2 officers carry a new weapon in the fight against the increasing violence and decreasing respect from the public body cams. the primary aim is our own safety and other words we wear the body cam as a preventative measure. we always carry them and we turn them on in dangerous and tense situations to try to influence the behavior of the people we gauge with. almost every team is equipped with a tiny cameras when they go out on patrol. the days 1st call involves bodily injury special forces are already at the scene of the suspect

is known to the police as a hooligan with a record of bodily harm forging checks narcotics possession and resisting police officers this time the suspect is accused of beating a homeless person police officer saw him do it the suspect claims to have been defending himself after a provocation it's his 2nd encounter with the police in one day but he backs down the officers never even turned on. the body count. it's a busy day and nights the weather is good the home team has just won an important soccer match the party mood and alcohol increase the danger that the police will experience violence. soon in mind says pedestrian mall stefan mail and given she has a call to take down a charge of verbal abuse the accuser is the same hole again from before. what you

tell me definitely abused me she said i was a what did she say a weirdo and her boyfriend said you know what's the buzz off you with the red monster lips gave yourself and stay close to make. you come back with me and remain standing here in front of the debates ordered by the polish didn't. even with prior convictions for bodily harm and resisting the police the man feels they're treating him unfairly. i heard what was said and i saw what happened at the station and obviously things aren't going very well in town today and here we take a step back. and then we can talk bunch of zork and done with. but the hooligan appears to have very little respect for officer stefan male pass' the guy in full ready acknowledged what was said so everything's in order no reason at this link 09 i was in it. so now we're here to take down your complaint. you take
2:19 am
a step back. i don't come any closer. than with you on camera as of now. stephan male 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. managed. 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 holding them often you have
2:20 am
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 c.m.o. misrata. 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 record spoke images and sound. i'm not at all happy that you're here ruining the mood. now i've got the camera turned on because of the caller saying you're aggressive i'm not why you yelling here i'm not yelling at all now i'm going to search your id papers no i don't have any idea. 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 mind but some criminal charges are still filed the document extreme hostility towards the police. to ask used 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 but up court and the officers were only trying to stop
2:22 am
a brawl. in another case from 2 days ago the subjects' began resisting a female suspect bit 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 much. to do that many cases aren't processed completely. british bob odenkirk and song by i get it when things bother me personally in court i have to put on the teflon and just take the abuse as a police officer. should study then you wonder if any judge realizes what the current situation is really like to be a stud socialists actually that was on. 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 a man i suppose or we're 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. if you've had even a minimal are bringing you want to know that this kind of thing isn't proper. for these officers on 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. 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 need at this site he once had to handcuff a teenager who was becoming extremely aggressive. players are always with things just as i was giving him instructions he turned around and spat in my face. 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 that this is what provokes you and gets you worked up in. side most of all . it's awful that no amount of training can prepare a police officer for something like that. this 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 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
2:25 am
a police officer that functions of the push of a button no matter want. makes totally correct and emotion free decisions is to go in what's entitled what on a night shift steffen mail and gavin spheres have to check out a group of teens. as well as the everyone staying here as always checking everyone's id. ok you stay right down you come down over going to have to coffee is everyone coming over here. i lined up all over their vans out 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 stones if you stand over there. do i have to raise my voice again. that's a provocation when i tell you to stand there 5 times and you just don't do it. here

that the officers tried deescalation tactics as long as they can without a body cam. also told us understood you can't let the 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 don't. think i want to go home what are you doing there you're sleeping in a cell and tonight why am i sleeping there when an alcohol test on me 1st i have to 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 i want to go home you can't do that there. shortly after the officers are called to take charge of a man he was caught trying to get away the man is aggressive so the body count is switched on. for now listen i'm turning the camera on because i was everything you say now will be recorded you stay seated here and come down.
