Denver police turn off cameras which show Breath Testing unreliable

CBS Investigative Reporters in Denver recently reported that Denver Police turned off video cameras recording DUI breath testing.  After recently suffering acquittals of DUI arrests where the defendant was not observed for 20 minutes prior to the breath test to exclude the possibility of mouth alcohol, the cameras were coincidentally turned off.  Police don’t want cameras if they are showing juries that Defendants are not guilty.  In DUI cases, the some DUI Task force officers have stopped using video after regularly videoing arrest for the last five years. 

No explanation is given for why not.  Atlanta Police also have new digital recorders that can not be played in court but only in police cars.  Other police agencies resist cameras for their police cruisers knowing that convictions can be harder when the arrest is on tape.  In this day and age, Americans deserve to have those vested with the public trust recording arrests.  The bottom line is it convicts the guilty and frees the innocent.  Legislators should step forward and mandate video recordings for police cruisers and DUI breath test machines.
