Bodycams don't always work. Here's a different solution to police violence (original) (raw)

Body cameras are widely perceived as a tool for reducing police violence and ensuring accountability, yet research shows that they often fail to deliver these outcomes, as evidenced by several high-profile cases of police misconduct. Despite the implementation of body cameras and various police reforms, incidents of brutality persist, suggesting a need for alternative solutions. One proposed solution involves requiring police officers to carry professional liability insurance to cover misconduct claims, thereby fostering accountability by forcing officers to assume financial responsibility for their actions.
