Body cams and criminal law

Imagine having a job where

everything you did was recorded on a body cam and could be used against you in a court of law? Your every move is under a microscope. This is what our men and woman in blue have to deal with on a 24-hour basis, 7 days a week.

A teenage girl who was about to stab and possibly kill another girl was apprehended and shot by a police officer who potentially saved the life of the person about to be stabbed. In years past this officer would be deemed a hero,

and for good reason.  Today's 'woke society and cancel culture' has him labeled as a murderer and wants him to stand trial for murder and doing his job.  The mainstream media spins the story as the officer is at fault. The officer was doing his job, trying to save a life, possibly multiple lives, yet the police are made out to be the bad guys. Criminals are now the victims, and the good guys are now the criminals. Welcome to "Woke America!"

The majority of these police shootings are not happening to model citizens but usually

occurring to those committing crimes, about to commit crimes and those with criminal and or suspicious pasts and disruptive demeanors. This is not just happening in the national media. Honolulu now has 3 officers being charged for murder for apprehending a criminal even though he allegedly rammed a stolen vehicle into their patrol car.

Who would want to be a cop

these days? The liberals would want you to believe in the middle of a bank robbery or holdup the cops should stop and say, "look dude, I know you had a hard life, let’s just talk about this and sing Kumbaya."

Locally on Kauai,

our excellent award-winning Kauai bus service now has cameras watching our every move. There is one camera watching the driver, everyone entering the bus, another camera watching everyone on the bus, and a backup camera for the drivers' convenience.

Supermarkets, banks, many retailers, and the famous Las Vegas casinos have the eye in the sky watching the cashiers and the customers coming and going. Traffic cams are many...

Now imagine having body cams

 at your workplace? Would you go to work if you had to wear a body cam and have your every move recorded for possible review and litigation? Imagine if the law required this?

Have our freedoms

been compromised with security cams? Should our every move be recorded for future reference?

Many law enforcement

officers are afraid to do their jobs and are taking early retirement. I can't blame them when we live in a society that is looking hard to cancel our every move.

Now let’s take it one step further, imagine every human being required at birth to be microchipped with a body cam to record their whole life?
 
 This was somewhat

predicted in George Orwell’s "1984" and there is a reality show called "Big Brother" where over 80 cameras are recording every house guest's move for 3 months as they pick each other off.  There have also been many movies about this subject.
There are even some who believe the COVID vaccine is implanting a government tracking device in us now?

Next time you see a cop, give them a friendly wave or head nod and thank them for their

service! Better yet pick up their meal tab the next time you see an officer at the local fast-food establishment, restaurant, or doughnut shop. Let them know you appreciate them since so many Americans want to defund the police and make them the criminals while making the true criminals the heroes.


This all explains why

they call it the criminal law system because our laws were made for the criminals, not for the outstanding members of society. 
The day will come when we need the help of the police and must call 911, I pray, they will still be there to help and assist.
