While high-ranking members of the Royal Bahamas Police Force have expressed concern over the fact that a man walked free of a murder charge because a Supreme Court Justice believed police beat a confession out of him, a leading attorney says it's time to start keeping video records of all police interrogations.

It's time to put cameras on everything. Install the cameras in the dashboards of patrol cars, and on other parts of cars. They should have been in every police station anyways. There needs to be increased monitoring, especially on some of our police.

This is like so 5 years ago .. :D

been saying it, they are doing it elsewhere .. but nobody has been listening .. :( (or maybe someone has?)

I know a couple guys in the US that most of what they do now is just installing cameras and audio for police interrogation rooms .. actually they asked my advice when they first started doing it a couple years back!

So if they want to do it properly, AND not pay a fortune, they need to just ask. :cool:
Even if I dont get any kind of job to do it, I could at least give them a non BS real world assessment of whichever products they may be getting quotes on.

Exactly, put the cameras on their hats too cuz you know how some of these officers go. Beatings dont always occur right by the car ya know!

Seems like everybody ga have ta start wearing these cameras..

Say (Lord forbid) police beat me up away from the station and next day give me a good interview in the station where Rory has a nice camera system set up and they treat me like the nice gentleman that I am:what: So they have "good" evidence they didn't beat me, right?

But if I have a camera on my hat/cap, that will be my proof that I did get a good CA..:cry:

Dem same high ranking members of the police force know they have dumb, stupid, iggorant officers who can only resort to force to acheive they end.

Tolja cupple months ago bout my nephew who put in the same cell at the Grove Police station with the suspect he turned in. They "dumb, stupid, iggorant ".

In Abaco cupple years ago two police officers went to investigate a break in: the dumb, stupid, iggorant officer with the gun, put his colleague who was unarmed inside the building with the birgular.

An guess what, cameras won't stop dem. Dey vill go right on doping foolishness and throwing out cases cause they "dumb, stupid, iggorant."

I sorry fer dat poor family.

I sorry for da Bahamas. Lord we gat trubble!

This seems to be the best solution to this problem. I see no reason why CCTV cannot be in police interogation rooms, and in fact, why aren't they there in the first place?
