Should Kansas law enforcement officers be required to wear body cameras? If so, who should pay for them?
Asked at Lawrence Public Library on January 20, 2015
“Yes, and the state should pay for them.”
— Nithya Gnanapandithan, engineer, Lawrence
“It depends — it could be a good idea because it could help them gather evidence.”
— Mburu Nganga, student, Lawrence
“No. I think that’s a little overkill and more for taxpayers to pay for.”
— Anthony Lockwood, cook, Lawrence
“Oh, yeah. It’d help defeat all the nonsense of whether a criminal deserved to get beat, for instance. (Law enforcement) should pay for it themselves.”
— Chris Bennett, Berry plastics, Lawrence
