Penny McCarthy froze in her front yard as a van full of armed US marshals in bullet-proof vests pulled up in her front yard, screaming and swearing at her. She had no idea what was going on.

“Police! Don’t move, hands up,” one of the officers shouted, pointing his assault weapon at her. At one point they told the 66-year-old that if she turned around again she would be Tasered.

“Do you want to confirm who I am?” McCarthy asked the officers, per bodyworn footage later released by the US Marshal Service (USMS) and obtained by ABC15. “Put your hands behind your back, we’ll discuss this later,” came the reply.

The shocking incident, which took place in Arizona in March 2023 was, ultimately, a case of mistaken identity.

Police had been seeking a totally different woman – 70-year-old Carole Anne Rozak – who was wanted on an outstanding parole violation warrant from 1999 out of Oklahoma.

Rozak served prison time for all non-violent crimes. But according to federal court records also obtained by ABC15, she failed to report to any federal probation officer after she was released from federal custody in Harris County, Texas.

In the police footage McCarthy is heard asking the marshals multiple times if they know who she is but is consistently ignored. It was not until she was in handcuffs that officers finally told.

“Carole Rozak,” she is told, with McCarthy replying: “That’s not who I am.”

Despite McCarthy offering to provide proof that she was not Rozak, she was arrested and put in the back of the police van.

It later emerged in court hearings that federal agents had based the false identification on Facebook postings and “some aliases” that they had obtained. An Arizona federal judge dismissed the case against McCarthy, but not before she had spent time in prison over the mix-up.

According to the Deputy US Marshal Service in Oklahoma, a “glitch” caused them to believe that McCarthy’s digital fingerprints matched Rozak’s. This was later debunked.

A statement put out by the service read: “USMS continues to conduct a thorough review of actions taken by deputy US marshals regarding the fugitive investigation of Caroline Anne Rozak and subsequent mistaken arrest of Penny McCarthy.”

The grandmother is still affected by the incident.

“I am so fricking disappointed in my government, it’s not funny,” Ms McCarthy told ABC15, following the release of the bodycam footage.

“They did nothing but treat me like crap and lie to me,” she added. “Ths US marshals are above the law, that’s what this says to me.”

It Keeps Happening. This Time In Colorado. A 14-Year-Old Boy. Held Down. Pinned To The Ground, Then Shot Dead!

The bodycam footage showing an officer’s fatal shooting of a 14-year-old boy in the Denver suburb of Aurora, Colorado, has been released.

The footage shows members of the Aurora Police Department chasing 14-year-old Jor’Dell Richardson last week after he ran from police while officers were investigating suspicious activity on June 1, according to The Denver Post. 

Jor’Dell was shot in the stomach following the foot chase when the officers thought he had a handgun.

The video shows Officers Roch Gruszeczka and James Snapp in a squad car pulling up to a convenience store. They saw a group of teenagers wearing hoodies and medical masks running out. When they saw the scene, Gruszeczka said, “They just shoplifted out of there. I’m going to light them up.”

Both Snapp and Gruszeczka pull over and begin chasing Jor’Dell. On Snapp’s bodyworn camera, he is seen chasing Jor’Dell into an alley and yelling, “Get on the ground you f–king idiot!” before tackling him to the ground.

Once Snapp pins Jor’Dell to the ground, Jor’Dell is heard yelling, “Stop, please! You got me!”

Gruszeczka, who followed both Snapp and Jor’Dell into the alley, spotted a gun and yelled, “Gun! Gun! Let go of the f–king gun! I’m going to shoot your a–! Dude, I’m going to shoot you!” all while Jor’Dell is pinned to the ground.

Just seconds later, Gruszeczka shoots Jor’Dell. Jor’Dell is screaming after the shot is fired and yelling, “I’m sorry! I’m done! Help me. Take me to the hospital! I can’t breathe! Help!”

US-FL: Officers race against time to rescue driver from sinking car in Orlando

Officers from the Orlando Police Department were called into action earlier this month after a driver found himself sinking into a pond after failing to negotiate an on-ramp in Orlando. Bodyworn footage shows the officers on the edge of the pond with the front of the car submerged in water. “Driver, are you able to open your window?” one of the officers calls out.

Body-Worn Camera Market: Capturing the Latest Tech Advancements

Body-worn cameras are wearable audio, video, or pictorial recording systems, commonly known as body cameras or wearable cameras. In contrast to other types of video technology, body-worn cameras serve the dual purpose of law enforcement and public accountability. As per Inkwood Research, the global body-worn camera market is estimated to grow with a CAGR of 16.04% during the forecast period 2023-2032.

Over recent years, body-worn cameras have become an essential tool for law enforcement authorities, security personnel, and other professionals requiring a hands-free video recording solution. Designed to provide an objective record of events, these devices help improve transparency and accountability, thus ensuring the safety of both the wearer as well as the public.

As the demand for body-worn cameras continues to grow, with the global market evaluated at $396.41 million in 2022, as per Inkwood Research, manufacturers are consistently focused on the development of new technologies. These efforts are primarily directed toward improving the performance, functionality, and capabilities of these devices.

Accordingly, some of the latest tech developments in body-worn cameras are as follows:

GC550 2K Mini Body Camera –

Hytera Communications (China), a leading global provider of professional communications solutions and technologies, released the GC550 2K Mini Body Camera, the company’s latest Body-Worn Camera (BWC) model, in January 2023.

Curated with intensive attention to ergonomics, the body-worn camera aims to promote personnel safety for law enforcement and security, as well as workplace transparency. Ke Wang, Vice President at Hytera, says, “GC550 is designed to capture fine details as evidence for legal investigations and court proceedings.”

The device’s sliding switch enables a quick start to record during emergencies and intuitively displays the recording status through its position. Through this, users can remain focused on the situation instead of paying excessive attention to their body-worn devices, thus improving efficiency.

EOS™ (BodyWorn) by Utility –

Utility (United States­­), an innovative technology company recognized for the development of digital systems for frontline professions, introduced BodyWorn 6.0 in 2022.

Characterized as the newest iteration of the company’s BodyWorn body camera, the 6.0 update offers improved capabilities to further enhance the technology, which uses artificial intelligence (AI) to generate situational awareness.

Some of its core features include camera preview while recording, quick forward/backward on video playback, picture notes with audio transcription, driver’s license scanner, audio recorder, and others. (BodyWorn by Utility ushered in a new beginning for digital video surveillance, renaming it EOS by Utility.)

AXIS W100 Body Worn Camera –

Axis Communications (Sweden), an industry leader in network video, announced its first body-worn solution designed for use by private security as well as law enforcement personnel in March 2020.

The solution – including the docking station, robust camera, and system controller – has been designed on an open system architecture, facilitating integration with other evidence management systems (EMS) as well as video management systems (VMS).

Easily scalable for cost-efficient and larger body-worn systems, the system offers a single integration and management point, subsequently enabling reliable and swift video offloading (100Mbit per camera). Additionally, the AXIS Body Worn Assistant mobile application also allows users to evaluate footage and add notes, categories, and descriptions.

In a recent development, CoxHealth, a not-for-profit health system based in Springfield, Missouri, upgraded its public safety and security officers’ body-worn cameras with Axis Communication’s state-of-the-art solution. The update, announced in March 2022, is set to increase the six-hospital system’s overall visitor, patient, and medical staff safety.

Axon Body 3 –

Axon (United States), a major leading manufacturer of body-worn cameras and the global leader in connected public safety technologies, released the Axon Body 3 in 2019.

The camera features improved video quality, longer battery life, and enhanced low-light performance, making it a popular choice among law enforcement agencies. According to Jeff Tudor, San Leandro Police Chief, “The new technology in the Axon Body 3 camera will allow our officers to better utilize this critical tool and improve our service to the community.”

Furthermore, in August 2021, Axon announced that the Gujarat State Police is set to equip officers across Gujarat, India, with more than 10,300 body-worn cameras as well as Axon’s digital evidence management solution.

While the body-worn camera’s novel features include real-time functionality such as live maps, alerts, and live streaming, the functionalities constitute a mobile experience and real-time critical evidence offloading from the field, among others.

Body-Worn Camera Market: Applications Beyond Law Enforcement

According to a 2018 Bureau of Justice Statistics (BJS) report, the top reasons that sheriff’s offices and local police implemented body-worn cameras were to enhance officer safety, reduce agency liability, augment evidence quality, and minimize civilian complaints. At the same time, technology companies, such as Motorola Solutions, have also started demonstrating the advantages of these cameras to a wider range of organizations, including retail operators.

For example, in the commercial sector, body-worn cameras can be utilized to monitor potential theft, in addition to verifying that safety protocols are effectively followed. While reviewing video footage with team members can be useful for training purposes, new hires can also learn from how current employees deal with real-world situations.

The use of body-worn cameras has continued to enhance accountability, transparency, and public trust worldwide. It is deemed an indispensable tool for law enforcement agencies, private security firms, the retail sector, and other organizations necessitating video documentation of their operations. As technology continues to advance, these multi-faceted devices are set to witness concrete applications in various domains, thus providing the global body-worn camera market with lucrative growth prospects.

Can I ask ... Do you personally see the kind of corruption etc mentioned on that post you reblogged? The "clear 360 circles" one? I'm just curious what your experience is, if you're willing to share

Thank you for sending this! I appreciate you asking the question, and if anything in my reply comes off as accusatory or confrontational, please know that it isn't directed towards you - there's just A Lot To Yell About on the topic of USian criminal "justice."

The post. (tl;dr: a series of tweets by a defense attorney detailing a case he had where the police officer was blatantly and directly dishonest)

The thing about "police corruption," and all the myriad ways cops have of gaming the system against poor people and/or non-white people is that it seldom needs to be as dramatic and egregious as Greg Doucette's example. The system gives cops all the advantages they need WITHOUT their having to break a single rule. Cops don't need to be "corrupt" to be oppressive. Cops don't even need to be "bad apples" to be oppressive. It is the system itself that enables it all in the first place.

(more under the cut)

Of course, the egregious bad actors DO exist! My next-door coworker once stormed out of her office and asked for a second opinion on some bodyworn camera, as she was too angry to continue looking. A store owner called 911 on a homeless Black man who was sitting on the curb outside their store at night. The police had previously gotten a report of a potential shooter that night who vaguely matched client's description (e.g. - "Black male adult in dark clothes," or BMA in police report speak) so they sent several SUVs full of officers. The officers arrived, verified that client was not the shooter, then grabbed client's arms and legs as he was standing up and shoved him down against the concrete. He was not struggling - multiple different camera angles confirmed it, because an officer was kneeling on his head. The only crime he could POSSIBLY have been guilty of on that night was misdemeanor trespass. This did not stop the officers from TASING him three separate times, on the wrong setting (i.e., a much higher voltage that their own training manual mandates should not be used on suspects).

The eventual charge? Felony resisting arrest - the client "stiffened his arms and legs" as he was getting put into handcuffs. While being Tased.

So yes! I have witnessed and personally seen the kind of dishonesty and "corruption" the twitter thread describes. However, the MORE frustrating and oppressive kind of corruption that I see is the kind that happens without any dishonesty or rule-breaking at all.

A client of our office was once stopped by the police because he used his turn signal too far in advance of an intersection - a violation of the local vehicle code. By the police officers' own report, there was no other bad driving. The officers saw that he was smoking, that he was "mumbling" in his reply, and that he was "unsure whether he was on probation." Officers took all of these as signs of "nervousness" and "suspicious behavior" and asked him to step out so they could search his car. Client complied, because he was terrified the officers would shoot him. An unsecured firearm was found under the passenger seat, and the client was taken to jail. His exposure was several years state prison.

Now here's the important part. If this particular client should choose to try and fight this case in court, a prosecutor will argue - possibly successfully! - that everything that happened to my client was legal.

Does it matter that an early turn signal is a traffic infraction that legally cannot carry jail time? Does it matter that my client is barely old enough to be in adult court, and he's alone on the side of the road with two armed officers? That he isn't white? That a law recently passed in our state legislature that drastically reduced the length of probation for most offenses? That police officers themselves routinely mistake whether our clients are on probation or not? That client’s father and brother were recently murdered as a result of gang violence, that client thinks the shooters may be out to kill him next, and the police have not stopped a single incident of gun-related violence that has occurred in our community in the past several years? That this client will lose quite literally everything if the state chooses to kidnap him from his life, his housing, his job, his loved ones, for months on end? That I know for a FACT most of the attorneys and judges who drive in front of the sheriffs’ station next to the courthouse never use a turn signal at all? Well, Mr. Client, that's up to a judge! Who is most likely an ex-prosecutor or an ex-cop himself!

That is the most common story I see - police officers deliberately using the power they are lawfully given in our system to hurt poor and non-white communities. "Vehicle code infraction stop for expired tags/broken tail light leads to vehicle search leads to contraband drugs" version number five billion this month! "Failed to check in with probation, arrest warrant without possibility of bail" EVERY SINGLE DAY. Does it matter that there was no bad driving? That the DMVs in our area are overburdened and frequently closed due to covid? That the expensive white BMW that parks in the corner space has had expired tags for months but has not once been stopped? That the probation officers won't answer their phones and the probation offices have been opening/closing without warning this entire pandemic? That my clients are homeless and struggle to maintain even a consistent cell phone number when they're desperately trying to keep their lives together? That jail and prison will do ABSOLUTELY FUCK-ALL for anybody?

No. It does not matter. The things being done to our communities by the police are, a VAST majority of the time, sanctioned by the law and by the various actors in the system that uphold that law. To use the term "corruption" or even "bad apples" is a disservice to the work that needs to be done, to the fight that needs to happen. A police officer can be Clean McHonest and have every single action upheld by the law and STILL do the same damage. The system is not broken, it is operating as intended.

Which is NOT to say that I will spit on all criminal "reform" movements until the revolution comes! If a "reform" wave gains momentum or a bill gets passed that can improve SOME clients' circumstances even a little bit, I will grab onto that chance with both hands - it’s my job. I will RUN the goddamn suppression motion on Officer Friendly's shitty pretextual vehicle stop and roast the hell out of his ass on the stand, because that's my job. As much as I may fervently believe that cleansing white fire is the only way to "fix" things, I've got clients who are in cages right now. And honestly, the Venn diagram between criminal defense attorneys and prison/police abolitionists is MUCH smaller than most people think. WE KNOW what the "really bad ones" look like, because we're the ones reading the fucking discovery. We know exactly what was done to that vulnerable minor, exactly how many times the abused spouse was beaten, exactly how many skin-crawling images were sold out of that hard drive and EXACTLY how hard it will be for any of the witnesses to live normal lives again - the DA sends US the victim impact statement before it gets read in court! We KNOW!

But the gap between "I think mechanisms should exist to separate bad actors from their communities for the safety of everyone else", OR EVEN the vastly more reductive "I think bad guys should be punished," and the hell our current criminal "justice" system enacts? That gap is as wide as the Grand Canyon. What happened to George Floyd happens every day, in every jurisdiction - the public eye just doesn't happen to be pointed their way.

So...yes, I have seen the kind of "corruption" Greg Doucette describes in his post. And it is horrible. But the everyday legal oppression enacted by the system is in many ways far, far worse.
