Anti-ICE Protesters Want Agents to Wear Body Cameras, But Their Demand May Backfire
Bodycams help ICE defend against claims made to obstruct ICE.
Very bad, body-cams only help the police. It is a tool they use for their own benefit.
'Surveillance Is Not Accountability': Noem Sending DHS Agents in Minnesota Body Cameras
Immigration agents "murdered two people on video since the beginning of the year, and the Trump administration still lied about what happened and tried to justify it," said one critic. "I don't think cameras are the solution."
On the doomscroll the same image is shown. It was taken from the original which was too wide. The original is in the article.
The interesting thing is clicking on the above article shows that the picture shown here does not show what is really going on. To put it more directly, the thumbnail does not give the full picture. And the thumbnail could be a body cam image. Same aspect ratio. People expect video to give answers, but answers may be altogether out of view.
The idea of the average person evaluating video footage scares the shit out of me. Look at how many people looked at the video from Minneapolis and then called the shootings justified. People see what they want to see. People are controlled by bias, and agents with cameras quickly figure out how to use the cameras for their own ends. To exploit that bias.
And the dog killer is quite all right with that.
