ASSIGNMENT
Part A. Primary post
First, go to the link and complete the activity. Be as honest with yourself as possible and take some notes on your reactions as you complete the exercise. https://www.nytimes.com/interactive/2016/04/01/us/police-bodycam-video.html
Referencing the material provided in this folder, write a 500-word response . “People are expecting more of body cameras than the technology will deliver,” Professor Stoughton said. “They expect it to be a broad solution for the problem of police-community relations, when in fact it’s just a tool, and like any tool, there’s limited value to what it can do.”
After the videos and this experiment, has your view of policing and the role of video changed? why or why not?
Do you think body cameras are worth the expense or could we do without? What are the pros and cons?
