I’ve posted on police Body Worn Cameras (BWC) in the past, and in my opinion, for the most part, they are a positive. Thinking on this, I recalled my year of hard time, i.e. the year I spent as a jail intake supervisor.
One of routine jobs was to review camera videos that were placed all over the jail. If we had a fight between a prisoner and jail staff, I had digital evidence to review. If a prisoner complained his fifty thousand dollars was missing from his wallet, we had cameras over the property intake desks, where the money was counted.
Last week I was listening to Mark Levin, and he mentioned an article from American Thinker, when Thomas Lifson suggested BWCs not just for teachers, not just for cops:
The UK Daily Mail explains the body cam initiative coming out of Washoe County (Reno area), Nevada:
A Nevada advocacy group is pushing for teachers to wear body cameras in the classroom to make sure they aren’t teaching critical race theory in schools and indoctrinating students.
The proposal came from the Nevada Family Alliance – a group that describes itself as a ‘watchdog organization – at a Washoe County school board meeting this week.
It is in response to a plan from the school district, which includes the cities of Reno and Sparks, to expand the K-5 curriculum and teach more about equity, diversity and racism…
Excellent suggestion, and Levin makes a point of not using BWCs, but fixed cameras. We are paying for the schools, the salaries of these teachers, we have a right to see what is being “taught” (i.e. indoctrinated) to our kids. Fix a camera to the wall, let the parents watch what their children are learning, and they can have real feedback. Hell, give our local Karen’s a real job to do. Also, many day care facilities allow the parents to watch their kids via an Internet live stream. Sound like good oversight by the people paying the bill.
But why stop there? Technology is a great thing, and it will help up clean up one political issue after another. Remember how last November 4th the voting in Georgia’s largest county, Fulton County (i.e., Atlanta), stopped for a “pipe burst.” While Republican monitors were sent out, but Democrats returned and restarted counting votes. Without any independent or other supervision.
That is, to be generous, suspicious. So how about cameras at voting locations, at the voting offices that receive absentee ballots, the vote count facilities, etc. Mount them so you can see the whole room, and on the ceilings over tables where the count is taking place. Broadcast them live over the Internet, and a service member in Korea can watch the counting of voting in his home state of Kansas over his computer. Complete openness in the election. Who would be against that?
Democrats would be against that. A good hunk of their history has been stealing one election after another. Lyndon Johnson got his nickname of “Landslide Lyndon” after he stole the 1948 special election for senate against a very popular governor. Or how Joe Kennedy Jr., after famously being quoted by his son (yes, I know it was a joke at the Gridiron Club), “Don’t buy a single vote more than necessary – I’ll be damned if I am going to pay for a landslide” And yes, Joe did pay off the bosses in Chicago and Dallas to give Jack the election, by the skin of his teeth.
Starting the movement for this would call the bluff of the Democrats who say, “There was no fraud in Arizona (Or Atlanta, or Philadelphia)…” but immediately move to stop the audit with dozens of lawyers. If there was no issue, wouldn’t the Dems want the GOP to waste a fortune and be embarrassed that is operation found nothing. Sounds suspicious, doesn’t it?
Cameras, live stream, review. The technology is there to rid America of the destructive influence of liberalism in our courts, our classrooms, and our elections. We must use it.
