SAN DIEGO CRIMINAL DEFENSE: SAN DIEGO POLICE OFFICERS TO WEAR VIDEO CAMERAS

The San Diego Police Department and the San Jose Police Department are initiating a pilot program where officers will wear video cameras while on duty. Click HERE for story.

Interesting. The Oceanside PD tried that some years back, as did Laguna. Funny, when defense attorneys started pointing out to the DA's that the videotapes showed a dramatically difference picture than the police reports, cases started getting dismissed.

Oceanside and Laguna finally trashes the cameras. Let's see how long this will last. I suspect that in the first case I get where I ask for the video, I will be told it was on the blink....
