PNP chief General Camilo Cascolan said this in response to questions of another former top cop – Senator Ronald dela Rosa – while presenting the PNP's proposed budget for 2021 before a Senate panel on Thursday.
Cascolan said some 2,600 body cameras are up for tests on October 12 before their distribution to police field units. They were purchased for P287 million. It is still unclear how the PNP will decide which police stations will be prioritized for the body cameras. Discussions about the procurement of body cameras began in September 2017, after Caloocan cops killed teenager Kian delos Santos . A CCTV camera caught what was believed to be the Caloocan cops dragging Delos Santos in an alley in his own community before killing him.
Who wants to bet, in some operations, the body cams will have the same defects as some CCTV's? 'Ay, off pala'
PNP Generals SHOULD MAKE SURE, these cameras CAN NOT BE TURNED OFF unless they're inside their stations OR ELSE lokohan nanaman yan
Should be mandatory and that videos be released publicly when needed
