We need more than body cameras on enforcement officers


I COMMEND the proposal to equip enforcement officers with body cameras to increase their level of transparency and avoid ambiguity in any disputes between them and suspects, “Cops to start using body cam soon” (The Star, Sept 20).

For far too long, Malaysians in general have always had lingering doubts on the professionalism of our enforcement personnel. The use of body cameras would certainly help both the enforcement agencies and the public.
