APD Chief Acevedo: Body cams have resolved complaints very quickly. Officers want them. #txelge

That's my prayer.

However, it has come in handy supporting his side of a couple interactions. One of which was a guard he supervises and a lady that rearended him when he was in his patrol car. Both lied and it was obvious in the video.

There is risk in everything we do. I would take my chances and get one just as AndyC indicated he would.

My son that is working his way through college as an armed security guard purchased his own body camera for his own protection. He is confident he will do the right thing and use it judiciously he is willing to accept any potential risk from using it.

I, kind sir, will quite ably argue with you that although the sun is indeed quite hot, that water is certainly not set!!

mojo!!

See, that didn't take long. I concede this one Good one.

I hate autocorrect. Not only does it correct my misspellings, it decides what words it prefers.

No biggy. Just trying to understand your point.

Subtlety, sarcasm and jokes are sometimes hard to get across in written media like this. I too come across wrong at times unintentionally. Please don't be discouraged or offended when people challenge you or ask for clarification. Most of the time it is well intended. There are a few that would argue if one said the sun is hot or water is wet. You'll figure those folks out soon enough. I'l

I'm sure you have much to offer considering you are senior to most of us on here. Don't give up on us.

Such a sign invites a stop and search of the vehicle, probable cause or reasonable suspicion notwithstanding. These can usually be manufactured after the fact.

A "Come and Take it" sign invites a search? Why is that?

I did not say "authorizes;" I said "invites." A big difference.

Jim

Why? Who are you quoting that said "authorizes" instead of "invites"?

The officer saw the gun on the seat. That's why he took action. Nothing indicates the Come and a Take It sticker had anything to do with this. Manufacturing probable cause and reasonable suspicion after the fact is contrary to the Constitution and is not in the publics best interest. Why chase these rabits when they have nothing to do with the topic?

This could look bad from the dashcam to some but was obviously justified by the bodycam pov. Trinity PD figured out how to do it. Others can too.

Even on the dashcam pov, it was obvious the cop saw something that caused his a reaction. That is not evident in all videos and the more povs the better.

It's a shame the Bexar County deputies weren't wearing bodycams.
