How much will installing cameras/audio on a car help keep police in check.?

Assuming you play all your cards right and dont allow the cop an inch of your constitutional rights. Refusal of all search, the right to remain silent. Refusal to speak without an attorney present, a request that no further questions be asked until attorney is present.

'Sir, am i being ticketed or am i under arrest, am i free to go"

And a nice big bright yellow sticker on the drivers door advertising 'you are being recorded audio/visual' (assuming a 360* view inside/outside)

Now honestly speaking, if all cards are played right, and the car is kept legal, registration, insurence, valid license, clean, newer. Bogus violation to attract enough attention to pull someone over. or even a legit on, 71 in a 70mph zone.

Are you honestly going to be able to get into the car to search it with out a warrent or a dog to create PC. All in a fully legal fashion that will hold up in court on all constituional grounds? And will the police report back up what the video shows with out a whole bunch of BS made up by the police so they can try to claim they had probable cause.

Assuming your searching for a bag of reefer or even quantity of bud.

This is assuming your also dealing with state troopers only on the interstate.
Cant u just answer the question. I take it thats your only weakness, being legitmately recorded unknowingly. Thanks.
Will me having cameras keep you in line. My cameras sure are not going to show me commiting crimes. Only the police breaking my constitutional rights, as they often do, and given cameras in cruisers tend to go missing or were 'turned off at the time'

at the right time for the officers in need of an escape, but mine would be getting sent to the internet were you wont be able to 'take it and use against me.' The bill of rights was designed to limit govt power from unruly acts... Would our founding father be proud of the police force we have these days, arresting over 800,000 minor cannabis offenders in 2008. Sorry you need to start thinking of the right of a human being. These loopholes arent going to protect you pigs for ever, Justice will be coming, get your act together and do your job by the book if your going to hold others by the book.
 
Unfortunately, many innocent will have to go down before the culture changes back to one of "government exists to serve the people" not the other way around. A video won't help you in the short run, except to help get you off of bogus claims. But in the long run it may wake people up to the police state forming around us.
 
Police use the cameras to thier advantage. Amazingly they were not turned on when your civil rights were abused. I know this first hand. I now have a camera in my car on the dash for this one reason. I also have many videos of "bad cops" caught in the act that I am waiting to use when i get a camera ticket or pulled over for some BS so a cop can get his bonus- yes here in Arizona they now give them the bonus!!!
It was in our Tucson newspaper. It is sad that you have to protect yourself from the ones who are paid to protect us. If you really want to see a cop gone bad go to You Tube and type in"bad cop" this will make you sick when you see what this punk cop does to a 16 year old girl.
 
ok,ok,ok,okayyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy, this is a complete attitude question. I'm not trying to jog your emotions or anything, But you just need to adjust your attitude when you get pulled over, Maybe you had a bad experience in the past. So did I. But you gotta get over it. You're gonna meet crap head on sometimes, but thats gonna happen. Don't let it make you sterotype each and every officer. You have to realize that crap happens and things change. Not every officer is gonna tailor to your needs. They are there to keep order and peace. nothing
else. I was always gettin pulled over for speeding and stupid stuff. But I let it go, along with my attitude. When it's all said and done, I was like, "was it worth it?" and ya know what it wasn't, so spend that camera money on rims, spend it on a great date, spend it on something you can show for, attitude is everything in life, so spend it wisely! hope I hit a nerve, happy times man , happy times!
 
Really? Are you serious. It's a waste of money. Where I live, every patrol unit has a dashboard camera, furthermore, the officers wear microphones to record speech. The officers in the field cannot delete anything that goes on, it takes higher ups to do that. Police officers don't go around trying to harass people, yes it does happen, but that is rare. Police don't break your constitutional rights. Police don't necessarily need a warrant to search your vehicle, all they need is probable cause. The 5th amendment protects you from being "held to answer for a capital, or otherwise infamous crime" or from being "compelled in any criminal case to be a witness against himself" When you get pulled over, that traffic ticket is not a criminal or capital offense, they are civil infractions, therefore the 5th amendment doesn't apply genius.

You cite that 800,000 people were arrested for minor cannabis offenses in 2008. Firstly, guess what those 800,000 people have in common... they were all in possession of something ILLEGAL! Secondly, how many of those people were actually brought to court and tried of those crimes?? Just because you get arrested doesn't automatically mean you get convicted of that particular crime. I'm sure a good portion of those 800,000 people probably didn't get that hard of a sentence.

I'll give you a hint smart guy, don't do illegal things. That way, you won't get in trouble with the law. It doesn't matter whether you agree with the law or not, I work for a sheriff's office, I would smoke marijuana if it were legal, however, I don't because I know it is, and I don't want to lose my job.
 
We're recording you so feel free to rig up some sort of camera system to record us. Of course if we arrest you and your recording captures the violation we will seize it for evidence to help convict you. My agency uses a very good quality camera system that records to a hard drive that the Officer's in the field can not delete. It takes a Lieutenant or above to delete video from our server. There is no way for us to edit it or tamper with it.

Also, you don't seem very in the know of your rights. You seem to be implying that you would attempt to invoke your 5th Amendment Rights on a traffic stop for a minor violation. The Police do not need to honor this invocation because you do not have those rights at that time. If you're going to play the card game then you should know the rules.

Cameras won't help you keep from being arrested if you are breaking the law.
