Video Cameras in Police Cars Relevant for Investigation and Probing Purposes

LogoNew Legislation sponsored by State Senator Donald Norcross would require police departments to equip all new or used police vehicle purchased for the department to install video camera equipment in the cars for use during traffic stops. The bill has the support of the Senate Law and Public Safety Committee, and comes on the heels of videos being released in two cases in which New Jersey Assemblymen were ceased a year ago. In one case, the video showed that the charges against the assemblyman were trumped up and that most of the allegations against him were untrue. In the other, the video showed that the assemblyman greatly exaggerated the humiliation he was subjected to as a result of the stop by a State Trooper. These cases sparked the need to have concrete physical evidence such as video recording to support such claims.
