LAPD was one of the first major police departments to institute body cameras. The footage is now being used as a tool to predict their behavior and to monitor them even more, she says. "To think that LAPD would actually be using systems to discipline or control their own officers seems very, there's very little trust"
On this bonus episode, I go into some of the history between the LAPD police commission and the Stop LAPD Spying Coalition, and feature some of the tape from the Central station CSOC protest that didn't make it into the episode, including some creepy stuff that happened toward the end of the protest. I then talk to Sarah Brayne about the possibility of using surveillance technology to monitor the police themselves.
