Although he is not sold on the idea, Boston Police Commissioner William Evans announced plans for a trial program that will test body cameras on about 100 officers this summer using volunteer officers that choose to take part in the program.
While proponents feel the plan should be implemented permanently, opponents do not feel it should be put in place and all.
Those on both sides of the fence have expressed their pros and cons of body camera used by police officers, however, Commissioner Evans’ decision to try it out may answer all the questions surrounding the issue once and for all or it’s back to the drawing boards.
