- The Georgia State Patrol still boasts three decades later that it was the first agency in the nation to deploy dash camera systems. But, the statewide law enforcement agency is among the last to use the type of body-worn cameras that have become the standard in police departments large and small.

This is truly unreal. How are the top cops of the state without a camera.
Even the hick ass, low budget cops in my Georgia county have body cams. GSP literally have armored humvees, skid steers, camaros, challengers, etc but cant afford body cams? Ha. B.s. Its because they don't want em.Almost impossible to prosecute em if you cant see em blow somebody full of holes.its their word against yours.
Corruption.
That's shocking GSP doesn't have bodycams. You'd think they would want to be one of the first.
They don’t want to use them because they don’t want you to know the truth. Typical Georgia law enforcement. They are still back in the Dukes of Hazard days and will stay there until they are made to wear them. They don’t get a choice. They are public servants and they have to held accountable for their lack of transparency. We know what they’re trying to hide.
They don’t need any. Troopers have dash cameras, which are always on. They are always by their vehicle so body cameras would be a waist in money. They would barely be used unless someone wants so see a trooper fill out his MVA report or look at his CAD
Most State Law Enforcement Agencies don't really use body worn cameras because they have 360 degree vehicle camera footage and because of the fact that state troopers don't tend to go too far away from their vehicles mainly due to their assignments on freeways and highways. In addition, some states don't allow bodyworn cameras for state troopers. But I'm not justifying anyone. I'm just stating some facts about state law enforcement in certain circumstances.
@@RonDeSantis2028 what if that was YOUR family member ? Plus 9 out of 11 shootings were out of camera range? So what the actual fuck do you mean they don’t need them?
Too much to hide. They hate being recorded.
Georgia needs body 📷 now

@@Bravo107GamingandTributes Only FHP has 360 but everything else is correct
SHAME ON GA STATE PATROL! Get body cameras now! We need to organize a rally and reach out to law makers!
Exactly 💯

Get them the money, then they will be able to.
@@baddriversofthenorcalarea500 Exactly, but then they’ll complain about higher taxes.

Georgia 🤦🏽♀️
imagine being alone on a dark dusty road in the backwoods of Georgia with a hick state trooper, now that's scary
Just imagine being black lol
Just pull over. PROBLEM SOLVED
God help all of you in Georgia exactly if your black ⚫ 🙏
@@arlenejohnson5356 You are an idiot. Georgia has a quite large black population and if it wasn't for the November India Golf Golf Echo Romeos in ATL there wouldnt be a problem because im from out back and there is quite a few respectable blacks who treat people well and are not criminals
Imagine running when you’re asked to pull over and accepting the ticket and moving on
We all know why… 🙄 It’ll be oKKK. Y’all’s time is almost up.
yessssss it is
They have dash cameras, and pretty much never leave their line of sight as troopers. You gonna donate the funds to buy them?
yet you will regret keep killing yourselves over “disrespect” or wearing the wrong colors… 🙄
They already have Desk him and it’s not like they’re fighting having a dash cam. You’re just very unintelligent. But let one of these brothers come rob u and you’ll be screaming for the police
He was murdered you know that we all know that
Im sorry who gives them a choice to have cameras or not? Did they forget who pays their salaries. We the people demand you have them and worn when on duty. These city, state, county, federal agencies and leaders forget who really signs their paychecks its called the taxpayers.
You do realize that they pay taxes as well, right? YOU gave them a choice by not making it law. Cameras are expensive. In the tens of millions. For a piece of equipment that is not necessary.
Lol they pay taxes too? You poor inbred bastard.
@@baddriversofthenorcalarea500 I disagree with them not being necessary. They are expensive, as can be the servers that are needed to hold all the video collected. However , we are not talking about a municipal /village/township department. We are talking about STATE police. So expense is a muted topic , especially considering the amount of revenue generated by state cops.
@@baddriversofthenorcalarea500 i hate gsp
@@trishatate327 The fact that they are state makes it that much more expensive. For example, the leading maker of ICC in America is WatchGuard. They sell the 4RE camera that is prevalent across the nation. 720P is its maximum resolution. Each camera costs $7,000 just to own. That does not include installation on each and every car, server costs, software licenses, replacement units, tech support, training, or 4G data needed to upload far away from the station. You can see how expensive that might be when outfitting a fleet of thousands of cars, and then also purchasing body cameras which require all of that and more.
It was good to see the officers getting shot in this video. More citizens should do more of it

I’d be damned if I let GSP take me out like that. Better get them boys a body cam. They been doing 🐍limy business.
GSP isn't afraid to do Law Enforcement work.
I agree body cameras are great for transparency, but scrutinizing them so much for doing their job is ridiculous. When the dash cam captures the shooting, the trooper is seconds away from being run over with his dog. That is a justified shooting whether you like it or not the other person showed no regard for other life.
He put himself in front of the vehicle wft common sense that you will get ran over
@@levarwright6503 And then proceeds to shoot at her as if it was her fault he threw himself onto the hood of the car lol
Degenerated country where police open gunfire on woman who just tries to escape in some sort of panic situation.
There are pro's and con's, i submit that they promote transparancy and yes they will weed out the bad officers ..... hell i wear a camera when i go out in public .... too many people are lying and you cannot trust what others say, and many departments will not file a report without some type of "video" - folks watch some of the videos even in GA in Chases, when some arrive on scene they park in a fashion so there is limited actual view, and why do you think they cover their cam with their hand or arm, it si because they know they are about to say or see something they shoulndt be saying .... as for shootings, if you pull a gun, knife, or any weapon on a LEO thats it you did that you die , no if or ands , YOU MADE THAT DECISION, LOADED OR NOT, REAL OR NOT , YOU DIE .... saves alot of court cost .... sorry folks thats my rant ....
@@levarwright6503 One word: authority. They have the authority with the court's backing to legally stop any person under suspicion of a crime being committed. Whether that is a flat out murder, or you not wearing your seatbelt, they have the authority to stop you. It's the way society has worked for the last 200 years. I don't get the way of thinking with a lot of people, "wHy DiD hE sTaNd In FrOnT oF tHe CaR?!?" Because it is his job to detain someone and stop someone from fleeing the scene of a ongoing investigation. That girl literally had the opportunity of going home that day by cooperation and if they believed the police did wrongdoing, fight them in the courts, not on the streets. It's a quick way to jail or worse, death. You have little regard for human life because you simply disagree with police. They are humans too, and they have been doing this exact thing for decades. In the 80's, people respected police because they were quicker to shoot people. Now, people have no respect for any type of authority, whether it is their father, or a police officer, or the teacher in school. Where have you anti-coppers been?
Is there a full video of the lady in the white car or what happened with that shooting. Tried finding video on it, but nothing on TH-cam.
Let me know
More of the dirty South politics . Yall just now finding out ? There is no transparency in the dirty south . Why on earth would you want to video tape it . So you can post it on You Tube ? The only reason Jekyll Island Troopers have body cams is the beach , bikinis ,beavers and The Commanders special footage .
All GSP cops racist af
Gsp=Georgia state Pigs,I've had to many encounters where I was wondering ,does this deputy have a body cam?🤔
Considering you're referring to a state trooper no,most deputies work at a Sheriff's office
@@timoshi119 I wish I could say I was capping,where I stay there are at least 4 trooper stations,dublin,macon,millidgville,augusta🤔
@@nerdshininglightw7014 Where I live in Northwest GA we have 7 Trooper posts and they are scattered around in different counties
@@timoshi119 good lord ,they hide everywhere don't they🤔
@@nerdshininglightw7014 each post is responsible for a handful of counties like where I live Post 5 patrols 2 counties and post 27 Blue ridge ga patrols 4 counties
Like they tell us... "If your not doing anything wrong then what's the problem"?
they doin it just because they can get away with it

Biggest Gang in Georgia
If you from Atlanta well Georgia you wouldn’t really be shocked about this. GSP really do what they want and when. GSP runs the entire state. GSP feels they are the law. This really isn’t surprising it’s a state patrol
And I love it…
@@tylercooper5092 love that they don’t wear body cams ?
And you love what 😳
@@tylercooper5092 you love a corrupt system?
u should move to mexico
@@vegandestroyer3782 you're one of those conspiracy theorists aren't cha? You should move to mars.
Someone is pocketing the money it's not shocking In GA state full of crooks
yess hate to say I stay here smfh
A LITTLE ADVISE..DON'T BREAK THE LAW..GSP WILL NOT PLAY WITH YOU
That’s good. They shouldn’t have them
I call bullshit most troopers i kmow have body cams and full 360 cameras on vehicles . this mis
Is information i personally know GSP troopers
Reba sang a song about something just like this.
What difference does it make they only show what they want anyway!
We have a black problem in America, not a cop problem.
Not to be mean but that lady needs to go on a diet. Georgia shouldnt have gave her the money as she will just get fatter.
Shoulda stopped. Dont be stupid.
lol neither do undercover cops here in AL

@Jonathan Marbut tell that to to every state agency then. I just state what's there. You want something done do it yourself. I'm not here to argue with you. Talk to the state. It's not standard for all departments. The money is given to them but some have been defunded by the government. Every state has its own policies on law enforcement procedure and how public safety is ran. Blaming the police for this is stupid. They're not in charge of the policies that have been handed to them by the state.
respectfully bravo 107 - your information is BS. most LEO use body cameras, sorry the GSP and MCCD should be required to use body cams, tgo many are liing on their reports .... and they get all worked up if a citizen records them, get the body cams and wear them period .... it is called transparenency
They aren't wearing them , to reduce liability.
@@trishatate327 exactly, it's for a lot of reasons that should be obvious but some people beg to differ.
@@Bravo107GamingandTributes reduce liability to kill unarmed people?
you can’t kill a person just for running unless deemed a threat. which in many cases they aren’t… something you and many other cop dickriders seem to not understand.
this is just an easy way out of lawsuits from the families who’s child was murdered. your argument makes 0 sense
They should put the 360 cameras on their Cars. FHP has em and they give view of the front back and sides of the squad card
They have them
Criminals don't have body Cams.
What a coincidence
GSP doesn’t have BWCs but have microphones that record incidents. There’s no point in them having BWCs when they’re walking up to and from a car all day long.
I Disagree, Every Uniformed Officer should be required to wear a BWC. It protects everyone involved.
@@jeffreyverry7151 If you’ve ever been a police officer or worked in public service. It takes thousands upon thousands of dollars to equip a 48 man department. That doesn’t include hardware or data storage.
@@taylorstanford2656but they got money to get hellcats,scat packs,and Camaros other high performance vehicles but nota camera ok buddy
Very suprising!
They do have body cams
That's funny I thought all agencies of law enforcement were federally funded to get body cams.. so what did Atlanta do with that money???
Ha! I wish that was true. My department has them but it took a lot of pleaing from our chief to get them.
Each agency has to pay for body cams and dash cams and it is VERY expensive. I still think GSP should have them but outfitting officers with body cams is a lot harder than just ordering them and slapping them on the officer.
Sick 🚙
All public servants discharging public duties should be forced to wear a BWC, not just police, any and all. Not only should they be forced to wear BWCs but it should be streamed live to the internet.
Police do not like to use body cams most police are against it. Police do not like full transparency they want to be able to create their own reports based on their own words whether it's truth or lies and by the way police do not release bodycam for - cam footage that incriminates them

TRUTH 👌🏿!
Are officers allowed to buy their own bodycams???
yes
Yep
I challenge every criminal to wear a body cam… so we can all critique what you do
How could they rob and pillage the people if they had cameras?
Floorida has door cams and rear cams wich means no needed at all
I wonder if he still on the job let’s us all panic and worry!!
Body cams weren't need til Furgeson
Daaaaaamn this reporter is Good love it

Wowwwwww
That's convenient
That's not cool
Nothing that happens in Georgia surprises me anymore. In my opinion, it is a God Awful state to have to live in. My sympathies to the poor exploited residents.
I live in Georgia. Born and raised here. Seventh generation. Don't believe everything you see and hear in the media about Georgia.
I have family there, o yes,,alot of it is very true
@@hobonickel Right on. The media wrecks this beautiful state. If we said that every state that had police incidents were "god awful", we'd be describing every state. Stay peachy 😂🍑
@@operatorchicken7556 I agree. Every state has its pluses and minuses. Some states have more pluses than minuses and other states have more minuses than pluses.
I moved to Georgia from Miami and this is definitely not an awful state to live in.
Why was he running from the police?
He was scared! Their all scared! They have a blue light allergy. 😂
Did anyone see the intent to kill in these officers 4 example .! One cop jumped infront of a car and started shooting ..
So just asking ga state patrol 🫡 if I put myself in danger by intentionally placing my body infront of a moving state patrol car or any citizen is it legal or would I be justified if I started shooting to defend my life .??(This is considered serving and protecting)
We all would assume I can’t do it and I got a family I pay taxes and I can make mistakes due too poor decisions making skills in a pandemic state .!
how can u take my life and I’m not threatening u in any manner .! For the most part these people running for they life out of fear .!! While being in a state of panic .!
Smh gov kemp 😅🇺🇸🫡💯🤴🏽
i see the pattern they bump the car out of the frame then fire and come up with any story they want to
This the most violent viscous act I seen online ever ..
These wild animal need to be disarmed and reformed ..
If criminals didn't break the law in the 1st place police won't need cameras.
When I made this comment and many more in the past ..
I was a victim of racism.. I was accusing the cops 4 targeting all poor income people with the same level of authority who statistically would be black .. it didn’t matter if they committed a crime or not .. bothering innocent people on a daily .. Just to only find a criminal every week or so ..
at the same time
not even doing something as a simple investigation on the rich people at a high scale because that’s who they are protecting and serving ..
Even though that is true .. i think violent offenders should be jailed .. and that’s not racist.. it’s just reality .. once u become a violent offender who cause intentional harm or intended to .. (even if u dnt know better) teenagers etc .
The most acceptable answer would be to stop crime in its tracks and attempt to save as many innocent kids and citizens 4rm dangerous acts of violence..
(Non violent offenders) shouldn’t be treated like one that’s all
Teachers, Judges, and DAs need cameras strapped to them as well.
Great reporting!!
One can only imagine what they’ve been hiding over the years. Disgusting pigs.
O well
Georgia is Beautiful !!!!!!! ❤️
