Mark Mitchell: Police Minister on introduction of police bodycams in NZ
Manage episode 488941441 series 2098285
Police Minister Mark Mitchell says told Mike Hosking that police bodycams would help clear up misconceptions in the field.
He says he was talking to a young constable who was coward punched and a body camera would've made for compelling evidence.
Police Commissioner Richard Chambers wants the cameras to be implemented after a decision was put off last year.
Police are still looking into ways to deal with transparency issues laid bare when new tasers for frontline officers didn't include a camera.
