Why is this important?
Because it is almost impossible to screen for Biases', Prejudices, and Mental illness in any workplace, and many interactions between Citizens and Law Enforcement officers often become a deciding factor, as to the quality of life the citizen experiences after those interactions, We feel it necessary to document ALL of these interactions to ensure proper conduct of BOTH parties. Police reports, and Eye Witness accounts often neglect valuable information, that could be needed to ultimately decide a persons fate. It is often said, that a Person's trial, actually begins when they are approached by an officer. It is expected that Law enforcement officers should act in all fairness, and subdued Passion, however there are often circumstances that might try, an officers restraint. We believe that this move will ultimately foster an environment of civility, and ultimately a renewed respect, of both officer and civilian. Many law enforcement officers are already in favor of this. -----> http://cnnmon.ie/1vXBC4O
