In this case, some of the advantages of police officers wearing body cameras are that the cameras record every interaction that police officers have with citizens. These body cameras provide evidence of every interaction while the cop is on duty. These body cameras can put an end to most rumors created by the public and eliminate false witnesses or misinformation. The camera can also provide evidence of witnesses so they can be contacted for questioning. These cameras will also speed up court proceedings, so there will be more time in court for the biggest and most serious cases. Minor cases as well as larger cases won't drag on as long, with the information body cameras could prove also leading to smaller court fines. These are some of the benefits of body cameras. However, there are always two sides to every story, according to the article "Police Departments Implement Body-Worn Cameras." One of the downsides of police officers wearing body cameras is that they have complete control over when the camera is turned on or off. They would have to manually turn on the camera every time they enter and exit police cars. Another disadvantage is citizens who do not feel comfortable with the camera on, for example a victim of sexual assault may not want their situation recorded. The citizen can ask the police officer to turn off the camera if they prefer. Another problem with cameras is personal privacy; they don't want the people in the background to be shown. They would have to blur the faces, before blurring the faces, they would talk to them about what they saw as witnesses. Another problem they might face is money. Money accumulates quickly. Depending on the camera you buy, the price can range from $300 to $1,700. This doesn't include the storage where all those video recordings go. In South Carolina, they've already set aside $2 million for police to start wearing bodysuits.
