This week we asked readers their thoughts on the new NYPD pilot program that would have some officers wearing a small camera that’s able to record interactions with the public.

I think it’s a good thing because people who claim they have been brutally attacked by policemen would actually have evidence that they did or they didn’t. Tyzannah Sands, Kingsbridge

 

 

 

I think it’s a good idea because their interaction with the people will be recorded. It’s better for them and it’s better for the public, I guess for everybody. Even the police chief thinks it will be better. Antonio Romero, Van Cortlandt Village

 

 

 

 

After reviewing and listening to the situation that has happened between the community and the police, I think it’s good in a sense that there will be an eye between the police and the community. That way, the abuses and false allegations will stop. Juan L. Jimenez, Riverdale

 

 

 

No, I don’t like the idea because the police and the public are entitled to some privacy. A lot of people have no money and they want to spend millions on something stupid. Joel Alcenia, Castle Hill 

 

 

 

 

My feeling is that if they are the police and they are upholding the law, then there should be nothing to hide when it comes to having a camera. If you’re doing the right thing, there’s nothing to hide. It’s definitely worth the money.
