Baltimore Mayor Vetoed Bill Requiring Body Cams for Cops
On December 2, Ms Rawlings-Blake vetoed a bill that would have made it mandatory for Baltimore police officers to be equipped with body cameras. The legislation stated that city cops would “be personally equipped with a digital audio-and-video portable recording device.”
Despite the fact that the bill overwhelmingly passed the Baltimore City Council and the mayor publicly declaring that she wanted officers to wear body cams, she still promised to veto the bill.
She delivered on that promise.
