Chief: Minneapolis police officers must turn on body cameras for any call
Minneapolis police officers must turn on their body cameras when responding to any call, traffic stop or self-initiated activity, Acting Police Chief Medaria Arradondo announced Wednesday, in a key change to city policy in the wake of Justine Damond's shooting death.
"What good is a camera if it is not being used when it may be needed the most?" Arradondo said at a Wednesday news conference, where he and Mayor Betsy Hodges acknowledged some officers have not been using their cameras enough.

How many cops are cursing Noor under their breath these days?  :o
Seems to me that this shouldn't have taken a tragedy to enact.  First off unless I'm a crooked cop...I want the thing on at all times.  Second,  why wouldn't they have just made it mandatory for them to be on when ever they are on duty?

And just to be clear, my comment above (in italics) regarding the cops wasn't meant to be derogatory. I appreciate the sacrifices they make in the line of duty. It was really more regarding the bad press and pub this brings, not to mention increased scrutiny too.
