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.

School bus driver Michael Asseng, plans to sue Nassau County and police for $10 million over his DWI arrest after he struck a parked vehicle while transporting children to school.

Asseng, 28, claims that he was not intoxicated when the vehicle was hit in January, but sick. Immediately after the accident, Asseng was brought to the precinct. A week after the sideswiping incident, Asseng was brought to the hospital with a near fatal case of blood poisoning. According to the Nassau County District Attorney’s Office, the charges have been dropped.

Asseng reported to Newsday, “I sat in the hospital in tears, worried about going to jail over something I know I didn't do. I think what that police officer did was unacceptable, delaying my medical care. Taking me to that precinct put my life in danger.”
