Legislators in Oakland, California are proposing laws that would, when there is a incidence of violence with the police, prohibit a police officer from reviewing his "body" camera footage before he writes his police report.
Obviously, this is a hotly contested proposal.
Those for the law would argue that it forces an officer to write more truthful reports, as the video footage will show if the officer distorted the facts.
Those against the law would argue that what happens in the heat of the moment can only best be recollected by reviewing the video footage.
What do you think?
