State Bar of Michigan hosting panel discusson on use of police body cameras

The State Bar of Michigan Law and the Media Committee will host a panel discussion on the use of police body cameras.

Up to 95% of police departments in US major cities plan to implement body cams in the near future. (Grand Rapids already has implemented it). This is according to a study by Major Cities Chiefs Association and Major County Sherrifs Association.

The thing is that wearing cameras impacts other areas of law, such as constitutional rights, and privacy.
