Citing Profiling Worries, Prince William Co. Chief Seeks Cameras in Police Cars
February 6, 2008 | Virginia News
The Prince William County police chief said yesterday that the county should install video cameras in patrol cars to help protect officers from allegations of racial profiling as they enforce the county's crackdown on illegal immigration.
Chief Charlie T. Deane told the Board of County Supervisors during its regular weekly meeting that cameras would help paint a picture of "what really happened and what was really said" in the field. Cameras create visual evidence, shield officers from complaints and serve as training tools, he said.
