I love writing titles to my Blog Postings that make My Dear Readers think I have lost it. If this one does not make you think I have lost it, you may be losing it.
Actually I am not losing it because I don’t believe what the above title implies.
We are currently being bombarded with commentary about the wonders of Police Attached See All Body Cameras because...
Ø This is how we can get proof that the Police are really terrible people who enjoy making other people miserable.
Ø This is how we can get proof that the Police are really wonderful people who are always trying to help out everyone they come in contact with.
Ø These all-seeing cameras will show exactly what happens during every minute of every one of the 375,000,000 interactions between these Terrible/Wonderful Police People and their Victims/Beneficiaries.
Because of the above facts it is incumbent upon the American Tax Payer to demand that their taxes be spent to equip every Surviving Police Officer with a See All Body Camera and for each of us to rest assured that our taxes are well spent...Or should we be so assured?

In reality what happens with these See All Body Cameras is repeated over and over and Fella is again the only one who notices what’s really going on and he has laid it all out for you in Easy to Understand Bullet Point Clarity...
Ø The Police Officer (PO) approaches the Law Abiding Citizen (LAC).
Ø The PO informs LAC of the reason he stopped LAC.
Ø Information is gathered depending on the Infraction of the Law which LAC has been stopped for.
Ø For example, if LAC had been stopped for suspicion of being a Drunk Driver, a Breathalyzer Test will be performed.
Ø In the case of DUI, if the LAC blows 5 Times the Legal Limit, he will be handcuffed and taken into the Police Precinct for further processing.
All this time the See All Body Camera performs flawlessly. It records (audio and video) everything, however, the handcuffing is where the Fhit Hits the San.
The LAC objects to the Handcuffs and the Prospect of Being Arrested and he attacks the PO. The PO defends himself. In other words a scuffle begins. The See All Body Camera continues to record everything. It is a Modern Policing Marvel...Or is it?
No it’s not! It does record everything but nothing can be seen of what it is recording because the Pictures on the Video are jumping all over the place because of the Scuffling and the Fighting and the Cussing and the Running and the Tackling and the Punching.
The end result is the Video taken by the See All Body Camera Is Completely Useless. It looks like the See All Body Camera had been placed inside a paint can and the paint can had been put into one of those paint mixing machines at Home Depot and the machine has been turned on to “Super Duper Shake”.
All is not lost. In the Trial and on the Nightly News there is video that will clearly show what actually happened.
Justice will be served but that Justice will come from the 27 videos that were taken on the Smartphone’s of the 27 Innocent By Standers that were Standing By during all of what happened or what didn’t happen.
Don’t get me wrong. It’s not that See All Body Cameras are not wonderful. It’s just that 27 Smartphone’s are better and the really good news is the taxpayer does not have to pay for the 27 Smartphones.
Would I kid u?

Lagniappe: Wait! Our 9% Approval Rated Congress has just stepped in and passed a law that answers all my concerns expressed in this Blog Posting. They have passed a law that Prohibits See All Body Cameras from jumping around during Scuffles. That oughta do it.
