BODY CAMERAS ON POLICE OFFICIALS
I feel to keep police under vigil all police official must use one on body Camera which record all their actions while on duty and if there is any complaint against officer the recording must be verified. In case if Camera is missing or recording is missing it should be accepted that the complaint is true.
All the entry and exit gates and all the rooms specially the interrogation rooms and complaint recording rooms of all police stations must have cameras to record the movements 24 hrs X 365 days. This single step can reduce the complaints against police drastically as when Police people knows that their actions are watched by some body they will behave as per law and shall be afraid to commit unlawful actions and omissions. In long run
I am sure this simple fact can reduce the complaints against police department many fold and make them trustworthy and dependable.
In USA the body camera concept was adopted in year 2012 and after that the complaints against US Police officials fell by 80% as police officers started behaving more humanely and as per law.
In India we have so many complaints against police and pursuing all those complaints is quite difficult. This simple action can reduce the problem many fold. more
