This Week on Due Process  

Video images are powerful.  Just this week, a woman's quick use of her cell phone recorded the fatal shooting of her boyfriend - by a Minnesota cop - and launched yet another national outcry.

 

But cell phones are no longer the only cameras recording interaction between citizens and police.

 

The body worn camera, too, is increasingly on the scene; attached to an officer's chest, providing video evidence of stops, searches, arrests and more.

 

Advocates say it promotes greater accountability.  Police say it protects them from false accusations.  Civil liberties groups say the cameras are only as good as the rules that control them.

 

On this week's Due Process: getting the full picture of the body cam, from the street and in the studio.  Guests include: Essex Sheriff Armando Fontoura, State Sen. Linda Greenstein, Rutgers Law Dean Ron Chen and Ryan Haygood of the NJ Institute for Social Justice.
