Big Brother is always watching.

Seems a bit mad that the fired cops might end up in jail for sending dodgy messages on WhatsApp...

I'm amazed they didn't already have work phones, having them use personal mobiles to record evidence seems prone to all sorts of problems

You’d have thought this would have been common sense from the off

Absolutely, I'm surprised they don't already have work phones too. Not only for evidence recording, but if they leave their number with a witness or whatever, surely it's better it's not their personal one?

They have a work phone and a phone number they can give out to the public

Evidence is recorded on their body cams

It's the article which says they have had to use personal phones to collect evidence, I imagine bodycams can only do so much

WHat they say on their own phones is none of our business

what do teachers all talk about on their phones?

Some officers are really good, but some are really bad.

Abusers of power, and gang like mentality is rife, and totally outweighs the good. You see it time and time again.
