“It’s better to have rules and guidelines with all this technology than no rules and guidelines whatsoever,” said McCrory.

Yet another example of small government, the Republican way.

Please North Carolina, PLEAASE, get rid of this odious sh*thead you’re currently calling “governor.”

“My goal is to protect those who protect us,” he added.

This law protects the police. THE POLICE. Those are the only individuals who get to be protected and they don’t need anymore protection. The whole point of having body cams on the police is to make them more accountable to the citizenry.

“…stipulates that only individuals whose image or audio appears in a police dashboard or body camera recording can request to view that file.”

Why would they need to view it - they were there. They know what happened; it’s the citizens who don’t know.

“My goal is to protect those who protect us.” I’m certain the Governor has no idea how revealing that statement is.

Like Trump’s speech last night, where he went on about how police officers represent, this deification of law enforcement, it’s another example of how too often these days we are saying cops are effectively above the law and ordinary “civilians” are 2nd class citizens.

Can’t do that from the grave. It’s almost like McCrory is incentivizing police shooting citizens/suspects.

Exactly. What he really means is his goal is to try to make sure police officers caught committing criminal acts continue to go unpunished.

McCrory will make available raw footage from the new “Transgender-Cam™” technology, in order that concerned citizens may better seek out those straying from accepted sexual norms and proactively protect their wives and children.

Us, as in not “the others.”

What a lowdown, creepy cracker.

Ah, North Carolina, where the Police want the ability to shoot transgendered people if they use the ‘wrong’ restroom, without any public oversight.

That’s about all you need to know. However the ‘us’ does not include poor people. Cops are not there to ‘protect’ little people, they there are to enforce the policies of the ruling class, and in many cases one policy is “keep the n…r in his place”. And this law is meant to protect the cops that got a little over-zealous. .

There are cameras everywhere. No use trying to hide evidence. It’s everywhere. This just makes you look guilty. Taxpayers own those cameras and video not the police or the Republican Party.

I guess if the person on the video is dead his personal representative can see the video? What about his next of kin?

Some people say this sounds like a law intended to protect murderers in police uniform. Typical of North Carolina. Sad.

Won’t happen. Even though there are a lot of Democrats in North Carolina (remember it is a tech heaven) they won’t get off their fainting couches and vote the crazies funded by Duke Energy out of office. They just suffer in silence.

It’s like there’s a competition between McCrory, Brownback, Pence, Bryant, Abbott, and Ducey to see who can sign the most bad, unconstitutional bills into law.

True, but he was signing a document drafted and passed by the State legislature. Had he vetoed it they may have overrode the veto and passed it anyway. Sure, he might have scored points for vetoing the bill. Doing so wouldn’t have changed the minds of his primary detractors about his failures as a person and a Governor.

That’s just not true. Democrats always turn out in presidential elections. And McCrory is in big trouble. A lot of people who voted for him last time believing him to be a moderate can’t wait to vote against him this time. This includes a lot of Republicans.
