Police accused of turning off body cameras in bad faith
Lawmakers in Tennessee proposed legislation to make it a felony to turn off a body camera in bad faith.
This was in response to body cameras being turned off during the Martavious Banks shooting.
The Memphis Police Association called the proposed legislation "counter-productive" indicting that it would turn people off from being police officers and that they believed that it was already a felony to tamper with evidence. Whether turning a body camera off would be tampering with evidence is not currently very clear.
