“The policy says ICE will promptly release video of shootings and other encounters in which its agents cause death or serious injury only after determining "it is in the best interests of the agency" to do so. That gives its director discretion to release recordings that reflect well on the agency's image while working to keep others secret, experts on body camera policies said.”
So status quo.

Can I only pay taxes when I feel it’s in my own interest?

It's disappointing federal government transparency is restricted with this administration.

In other words, if they don't release the video they're 100% at fault. Got it, clear enough.

Honestly I'm shocked there hasn't been full blown riots yet. Im starting to fear that people secretly approve of this shit. Even the peaceful protests are becoming ever more limp dicked. I think shit has been all down hill since kent state. Half the country said "those kids deserved it and nixon should do worse" and the other half were brawling in the streets. Now everyone just feels its normal when people get gunned down in the streets and witnesses get disappeared. This is all truly horrifying

Hope we have a truth and reconciliation commission like South Africa did.

Never let police agencies of any kind convince you that they hate body cameras, or that body cameras are designed to keep them accountable. They *love* body cameras because the purpose of body-cams has *always* been surveillance, and the agencies in question always control what gets released to the public.

so never then

What's interesting to me is I feel like you could use this in court, arguing when they don't release the videos that they are admitting wrongdoing, as per their stated policy

Not sure, wouldn't they be able to plead the fifth in that situation and then jurors aren't allowed to use it as an admission of wrong doing or some bullshit? (I'm just spitballing, not a lawyer)

Yeah, well, that's cool, because it's also gonna be the standard for the American people when we finally hold those assholes to account for their lawlessness.

Why bother even carrying cameras?
Fyreworx
You better believe there's someone somewhere trying to get the law changed so they don't have to wear them at all.

so they can have viewing parties with their gestapo buddies and get off to the people they executed and women they gang raped.
