Dear Sirs
How come it is being widely accepted for non role-played evidence to be used in reports against officers?
I remember seeing something somewhere sometime stating should there be a need to show evidence in a case, hearing, court w.e, then the evidence should only be legitimate if the role-play was done at the time of the incident.
For example, if a person was role-playing wearing a shoulder camera then they should do
/me is wearing a shoulder camera
then and there, not *shows footage from camera* at a later date.
So... What gives?
Personal Opinion:
I'd assume that the same evidence would be legal in court. no? if so then there is no issue.
Without actually roleplaying gathering the evidence... the reports system opens itself up to those who have f8 on speed dial (yes, speed dial even tho it's a single button on the keyboard) and it somewhat relieves it self of being a role-play orientated police department.
If they did it at the start of a patrol and was recording, ofc then it'd make sense, but I've not seen this.
This is or was what I thought was the appropriate approach to gathering evidence, is it not?
(reasoning for why /me is wearing google glass and is recording - if anyone remembered)
If someone sees a camera on a cops shoulder ( and it is made clear to them that it is there - through role play) they'd of-course act differently. If it were possible to have a camera mounted on the shoulder of a person then there'd be no need for the /me .
Kind Regards,
Monte Montague.

Clearly states in the rules that it must be gained through roleplay.

Its fine to bring up such a regards, but since its not a direct report its not supposed to be in "Report to leaders" board.
You can continue debating here!
