The Nassau County Police Department has begun testing a new system that records officers’ interactions with the public.  These dashboard video cameras are intended to provide greater transparency and more efficient police work.

The dashboard cameras are currently being tested in the department’s DWI enforcement unit.  However, they plan on expanding the camera use to the more controversial “body cameras” later this year.

According to Thomas Krumpter, Nassau’s acting police commissioner, “you can’t dispute the evidence value.”  While this can be considered an infringement on privacy, the police find that the surveillance cameras have more pros than cons.
