Cameras on officers enhance officer safety, and reduce liability of the department (Cox &ed., 2014, p. 341). What is the role of such cameras in protecting officers and citizens during police encounters? The cameras can be used in court to prove that a witness lied in court. The camera give the public a chance to view the video on their own, they are left with the police version of what happened, and as we’ve seen recently, their version isn’t always what happened Cameras can be used to identify a criminal who robbed a bank. Also help to identify a stolen vehicle because a camera picked up the license plate recognition. Overall this helps assist officers with being more efficient and also helps to make them more accountable for their actions. I believe that it is true that people how are recorded are less likely to behave unprofessional when they are aware that they are being watched. The police car cameras are helpful in DUI cases or showing what happens in a shootout situations between a suspect and the officer. Are there disadvantages to having mobile cameras record such encounters? I feel like officer feel as if we are invading their privacy. They are constantly being monitored and questioned by every decision
