Body-Worn Cameras Aren't Just For Law Enforcement Officers









Body-Worn Cameras Aren't Just For Law Enforcement Officers









Following tragedies like the police shooting in Ferguson, Mo., law-enforcement agencies across the U.S. are adopting body-worn cameras. And in a twist that was perhaps inevitable, private-sector service workers from security guards and repo men to electricians and real-estate agents are embracing them too.

In interviews with makers of these wearable cameras, as well as those using them, I found something at once hopeful and a tad disturbing: Anyone whose situation might later spark legal claims should at least think about wearing a body-worn camera.

These devices can serve as an independent witness, and they have been shown, at least anecdotally, to aid in quickly resolving claims. Or to put it another way: One solution to this country’s notorious litigiousness could be universal personal surveillance.

JUSTICE DEPARTMENT ANNOUNCES $20 MILLION IN FUNDING

TO SUPPORT BODY-WORN CAMERA PILOT PROGRAM

WASHINGTON – The Department of Justice today announced a $20 million Body-Worn Camera (BWC) Pilot Partnership Program to respond to the immediate needs of local and tribal law enforcement organizations.  The investment includes $17 million in competitive grants for the purchase of body-worn cameras, $2 million for training and technical assistance and $1 million for the development of evaluation tools to study best practices.  The pilot program is part of President Obama’s proposal to invest $75 million over three years to purchase 50,000 body-worn cameras for law enforcement agencies.  

“This body-worn camera pilot program is a vital part of the Justice Department’s comprehensive efforts to equip law enforcement agencies throughout the country with the tools, support, and training they need to tackle the 21st century challenges we face,” said Attorney General Loretta E. Lynch.  “Body-worn cameras hold tremendous promise for enhancing transparency, promoting accountability, and advancing public safety for law enforcement officers and the communities they serve.”

Administered by the Bureau of Justice Assistance (BJA) under the Justice Department’s Office of Justice Programs (OJP), the BWC pilot program will provide support to help law enforcement agencies develop, implement and evaluate body-worn camera programs across the United States. 

“Body-worn camera technology is a valuable tool for improving police-citizen relationships,” said Director Denise O’Donnell of the Bureau of Justice Assistance.  “BJA is committed to helping law enforcement agencies identify the safest and most effective methods for deploying this technology and addressing factors such as privacy, archiving and legal regulations surrounding its use.  BJA stands by to guide agencies through what can be a complex process toward more successful adoption of the technology.”

The Justice Department expects to provide 50 awards to law enforcement agencies, with about one-third of the grants directed toward smaller law enforcement agencies.  The grants, which require a 50/50 in-kind or cash match, can be used to purchase equipment but applicants must establish a strong plan for implementation of body-worn cameras and a robust training policy before purchasing cameras.  The long term costs associated with storing this information will be the financial responsibility of each local agency.

Another $2 million will fund a national BWC Training and Technical Assistance provider through a competitive process, to assist agencies developing and enhancing their BWC programs.  This training and technical assistance will provide support to law enforcement agencies to support successful implementation of their body-worn camera programs.

OJP’s Bureau of Justice Statistics (BJS) will receive $1 million of the funds to collect data on body-worn camera usage through surveys of law enforcement agencies.  BJS will also design data collection forms that can be used in future surveys of prosecutors and public defenders to measure how body-worn camera footage is being used by the courts in criminal cases.

BJA will launch a BWC Implementation Toolkit in May, designed as an online resource for stakeholders.  The toolkit will focus on implementation requirements, retention issues, policy concerns, interests of prosecutors, victim and privacy advocates’ concerns, along with community engagement and funding considerations.

Of course, some people who buy these cameras don’t like the word surveillance. It suggests dystopias, unsavory power relationships and the “surveillance state.” But after hearing stories of lawsuits averted and tense situations de-escalated, I’ve come to the conclusion that a society in which we routinely expect to be filmed by the people with whom we interact could be a better one.

Take, for example, repo man Chris Kneib of North West Repossession in Missoula, Mont. Mr. Kneib has been wearing a body-worn camera made by similar to those made by DPL-Surveillance-Equipment.com for the past four years.




PRO-DTECH II FREQUENCY DETECTOR

His job is simple: Locate a vehicle that a bank wants to repossess, and load it onto his truck, preferably at night, hopefully without ever waking the owner. Every step of this process is fraught with potential liability, however, and even physical danger.




Mr. Kneib could be sued for damaging a vehicle, causing others emotional distress or “breach of peace.” People also can file claims against him with the federal Consumer Financial Protection Bureau. People who are having their vehicles repossessed are often angry, and may resort to the courts or the CFPB when they feel they have been wronged.





People have brandished rifles at Mr. Kneib. He now turns on his camera the moment he arrives on the scene. They even sued him on several occasions. Yet Mr. Kneib says his insurer has never had to pay a claim against him, something he attributes in part to his body-worn camera.
“People file complaints, and we have to be able to defend our actions,” says Mr. Kneib. “I don’t have to write anything down; I just send [law enforcement or the CFPB] a video. It saves me time and money because I have the documentation.”





In Britain, police have been equipped with body-worn cameras longer than in the U.S., where they are still relatively new. A spokesman for one British vendor says body-worn camera users range from government agents who go to sea to catch poachers to building inspectors. These non-police users represent about 20% of their sales.






While it makes sense that people whose jobs include enforcement or potential confrontations might use tools favored by the police, what I found intriguing was the other sorts of professionals who find cameras can help them do their jobs. 






Monty Henry and Carolyn Aranda, owners of California-based DPL-Surveillance-Equipment.com, says their company has a complete line of body-worn cameras ideally-suited for service professionals. Our body-worn cameras can be can be financed on a layaway plan  as well as being bought or rented.





Plumbers, electricians and home-appliance repairmen are sometimes on the receiving end of complaints, whether for shoddy workmanship or damage to a home. 







For them a body-worn camera that records everything they do, including their explanation of why they are doing it, can be useful.

Architects and building inspectors are starting to use cameras in the same way.




It turns out real-estate agents sometimes have to deal with clients who claim that their homes were damaged, or had items stolen from them, during open houses.

Imagine something about the size of a matchbox that can be taken almost anywhere. The cameras, which cost less than $500 apiece, can film for hours. Some of them can even stream video directly to a smartphone.





If the thought of universal personal surveillance disturbs you, think of this: Most people already are carrying a video camera in their pocket.






Smartphone cameras shed light on events in many parts of the world last year, from Syria and Ukraine to the streets of St. Louis and New York.

In a way, body cameras are just the natural evolution of this trend, a way for professionals to capture events from their own perspective.

 As with all technologies, it isn’t possible to predict what the spread of body-worn cameras will bring. But if they lead to more civility and fewer lawsuits, it is a technology that won’t just pay for itself they'll also offer us peace-of-mine as well. Even outside of law enforcement, body-worn cameras could deliver on the implicit promise of all new devices: improving our lives.
