A sensible thought is that it should help protect certain ppl given the situation
The tin foil hat suggestion is that its to cover up what they dont want the public to see.. though the sensible counter to that is to avoid unnecessary public backlash from those who just want to use any excuse to blame the police for something |

Should see how people look at body camera footage.
In America recently a man was chasing a police officer with a large knife above his head.
The officer stopped and shot the man killing him.
Even though the footage showed the officer had given warnings and he was at risk of serious injury or death the next day protesters were out in force smashing things up and demanding the office be bought to justice.
People see what they want to see.

There's been loads of occasions where the police have been prevented from releasing Body Worn Video which would have resolved a situation where arseholes have recorded police on mobile phones and only released part of the footage to discredit the police when the whole incident and context would have clearly vindicated the action police took. |

One guy was filmed simultainously by cctv and cam footage in this police cruiser in america last week he was shown walking down this main street with a long piece of smouldering timber at the end walking towards these cars when the state trooper told him to stop the guy told the copper to **** off so the copper proceeded to carry on behind him where suddenly the guy turned round and rammed the smouldering timber right through the door window the copper discharged his gun at the guy but the guy was not hit but was caught by another police officer just around the corner.. it was quite harrowing footage to watch. |

The officer got minor burns but the cruiser was pretty well burnt threw before the emergency services got there.

If they are found not to be undertaking their jobs correctly, it becomes an internal employment matter, to some extent.
It's reasonable that if they have agreed to release footage, if they fail to be able to, due to their errors, that they explain and commit to a revised timeframe. |

"The Guardian online have an interesting article on the decision not to routinely release footage from body worn cameras..
Sensible or a cover-up..
Public cannot be trusted ?
You decide"
I've not read the story but in my opinion, there are several reasons not to make police camera footage publicly available.
1. Often footage contains images of unrelated people.
2. If court cases are pending, releasing evidence could compromise a fair trial.
3. Could make it easy for criminals to identify witnesses and pokice officers.
etc... |

Here we go again.
The police are accountable. Things aren’t swept under the carpet just because the camera footage is not released to the public.
The public are not our judge and jury. There are PLENTY of incidents that are too sensitive to for public viewing. There are plenty of incidents where the public will judge the polices actions based on footage that they know NOTHING about, because they have never come face to face with with someone with a knife, someone so high on drugs that they want to “cut your head off” or the domestic violence call where the victim has been beaten to a pulp and the offender is so high on adrenaline that taser has no effect.
Where do you draw the line? Would you like to see everything? The officer first on scene to an RTC, desperately trying to keep them alive until paramedics get there?
Or the officer that performs CPR for 20 minutes until paramedics arrive?
Would you like to see that their first aid training is up to scratch?
Again, the public are not and should not, be judge and jury. |

Yes, publicly available is way, way too far. Available to the relevant authorities and kept for a certain period of time. Like CCTV.
I don't think accountability is a yes/no question, there are degrees of accountability. |

The body cams will be classed as cctv, they will come under all the same rules and regulations. Every one wearing one will also have "signage" on their person indicating the have it, the footage is subject to all of the data retention and protection regulations.

My point is that your issues are not always everyone else's issue and other people's issue are not always your issue.

"It seems" seems pertinent here. As in, that's my perception.
No, doesn't help me understand at all because you've told me different people have different perspectives, which tells me nothing. |

The police do a truly amazing job in the most difficult and unpleasant of situations. They really are heroes amongst us. We are very lucky to live in a society with such a professional police service. There are already checks in place with professional standards being upheld and the release of body cam footage should only be done when deemed necessary |

"And if the feds stitch you up "
Stitch you up how exactly?
Body worn camera footage is viewable to those who need to see it. The general public do not need to see the majority of footage.
I refer to my earlier post. The public are not judge and jury of the Police Service.
Next, you will be saying “but I pay their wages” |

I presume all those people are entirely off grid otherwise 'they' will get them! The feds are probably preparing raid their homes and take them to secret detention camps for water torture as enemies of the state.

Should other CCTV be made public, in case it shows something that you believe is being hidden? Your ring doorbell, your work CCTV, cameras from fast food car parks etc? |

I'll take a wild stab in the dark that you've never served in either the armed forces or a public service role. Like any job, you'll always get some good and some bad. The majority of people in these roles have little power or freedom and are subjected to staggering levels of abuse and risk, often from the people they have to help every day. Imagine that being your day. Every day.
Let's take your point and abolish the police, the ambulance and fire services and you can send for yourself instead? |

The police in the UK have a very poor reputation and well earned at that.
Every time they engage with a member of the public it is on the basis of profiling and soliciting for a crime.
If there is no complaint from the public and the officer has not seen a crime being committed, they should not be bothering people they don't like the look of, profiling and soliciting, that's the reputation of todays unformed constable. |

Well there we go. If you believed excessive force was used by police while detaining someone then you should have reported it so it could be investigated. |

What an odd view to have. So people should be allowed to carry weapons or drugs on their person and police officers should ignore them because they haven’t waved them around? |

Is that what i said? if the police have reports of such goings on concerning a named person, arrest them gather evidence and put it to the CPS, going on a fishing expedition can never be called policing by consent, just because a person is in a high crime area or fits the profile is not grounds for a stop and search. but that's what they do. |

Or maybe, said person looks shifty when they spot a police officer, police officer spots that and decides to stop and search to find out why they look shifty. If they have nothing to hide they would consent to a search without any drama.

Do you mean you can not refuse? If so you are correct. By “consent” I meant agree. You will he searched even if you do not agree though, it just makes things more difficult. |

I'm not anti police and have not had anything to do with them myself, they send offers into areas such as housing estates and the officers may as well be in another country you are going to see a lot of people that dress the same and live similar lives pulling up in a car and start making demands is never going to go down well, perhaps they should apply the same method of policing to all social group next time Ascot is on, turn a load of pockets and bags out see what the chattering classes are packing.  |

At least the police insist on higher levels of intelligence, education, and literacy than FAB does.
It's amazing how many of the people belittling the police, can't manage to string a propper sentence together using real words, proper spelling & grammar and punctuation. I suspect they don't rate teachers too highly either.

Police entry requirements from Jan 2020
Degree apprenticeship - you'll join as a police constable and undertake a three-year apprenticeship in professional policing practice. This gives you the chance to earn while you learn. Successfully completing the programme will also mean passing your probation and achieving a degree-level qualification too.
Degree-holder entry - if you've already got an undergraduate degree in any subject, this two-year pathway could be for you. As a police constable, you'll combine work-based and classroom learning, leading to a graduate diploma in professional policing practice once you complete your probation.
Policing degree - study a three-year undergraduate professional policing degree at university. You'll apply to join a police force when you graduate, and start your career with a shorter on-the-job training programme. |

No and there are many who have been in the job for a long time that don’t agree with it.
However, policing has changed over the years and it is what it is. It does not mean those with degrees are bad coppers, just the same as not all those without the degree are all good officers. |

It’s not ‘beneath them’ it’s because crime and therefore policing has changed over the years and there are just not enough officers to do that anymore. |

Do you not think that the reason they look for people who can learn to degree level is to ensure that the police are capable? There's a hell of a lot of training to be a police officer, learning the laws, how to react in different situations, how de-escalate a hostile environment, self defense, etc. This is all to help keep both the public, the suspect and the officer as safe as possible. Sure, there are incidents that aren't handled well but I'd far rather have it happen with an organisation that has a reporting procedure and takes public responsibility than than the hyped up muscle heads around the corner.
Policing shouldn't be all "firefighting" when there is an incident, it's also the work beforehand to mitigate the problems in the first place.
I for one would not want to see everything that the police have to deal with. But would be interested to see things that are appropriate for the public. |

Quite often, the footage is released for public viewing when it is in the public interest.
It is mostly not released prior to a conviction as it could jeopardise the case. That comes before your curiosity. |
