    Best I could tell, someone at Hyvee hit a silent alarm and the cops responded after like two minutes or so. By then the guy was already gone. They set up a couple block perimeter and were pulling in cops from the county and a couple other cities. Dogs were called out but lost the scent.

    Not entirely sure what went down.

      LVPD releases Michael Bennett video, which reveals nothing. Also noted the cops turned off their body cams at the moment of arrest.

        Turning off the cams needs to be a felony.

          Easy for me to argue that turning off dash cams or body cams is obstruction of justice. In many cases obstruction is already a felony. Wake me up when the next cop that turns off (or actually even fails to turn on) is CHARGED with obstruction, let alone prosecuted diligently enough to secure a conviction.

            Agreed. But why can they be turned off in the first place?

              I would guess the amount of data/cost/etc, of worthless footage; like a cop just radaring people for speeding for an hour.....that sorta thing.

                Europe has overzealous cops, too.

                    It's not that much storage if you're not taking video in HD. For the most part, that shouldn't be necessary. Also, you have a month or two of backup data stored, and then when a challenge is made, that video gets copied onto long-term storage for use in any investigation and/or trial. And files can be zipped. In addition to that, they don't need to have the camera recording 24/7, only when in the process of making contact with someone.

                      I agree they should be on in the case of any interaction with another person. DX had asked why they can be even turned off in the first place....

                        I had previously argued that it was too much storage. I still think it will be expensive. I was also arguing that under the assumption people who turned it off would be punished.

                        I was dumb.

                          It will be expensive, but I think it could be a manageable expense, and soon come to be an expected expense as cities find it harder and harder to get insurers to cover them until insurance riders regarding body cams and usage dictations become the norm in those contracts.

                              It would seem a bit odd for a city to complain about the expense of cameras and digital storage at the same time so many of them are paying out tens of millions of dollars a year in wrongful death settlements when cops shoot unarmed citizens.

                                I have always assumed the reason body cameras are turned off and on in normal operation is battery life. Battery life for continuous recording is 2-3 hours on a GoPro for example. Outside of any possible nefarious reasons, cops in some of these high stress situations would have to remember the step of turning them on, which I imagine is something a long time cop is not used to thinking about in the first place.
