NightSide - Should Police Be Forced To Wear Body Cameras?

/ CBS Boston

BOSTON (CBS) - The body camera program for Boston police officers was supposed to be on a volunteer basis. But so far not a single officer has stepped forward and volunteered for the pilot program. As a result, Police Commissioner Bill Evans has declared that he will assign body cameras to one hundred officers chosen at random by September. Do you think it is a good idea to have police officers wear body cameras? Are you surprised no officers have stepped forward and volunteered for the program?
