Body Cameras on Police During Wisconsin OWI Stop

Question: How will body cameras on police officers impact OWI investigations in Wisconsin?

Answer: I’ve been lecturing for years about the need for body cameras being used by officers in all stops, drunk driving or otherwise. It is the best evidence of what the officer did and what the client did, so there is absolutely no reason not to tape. Especially given the climate of police contacts and allegations of police violence we’re looking at nowadays, these cameras can be the first step in having both the police act properly and having citizens in Wisconsin trust our officers. It’s a win-win for both sides.
