A pilot program was scheduled to start last week. But after no officers volunteered, Commissioner William Evans ordered 100 officers to wear the cameras. That prompted the Boston Police Patrolmen's Association to ask a judge to issue an injunction to halt the program until a new agreement can be negotiated.
Union President Patrick Rose testified Tuesday that the city violated its agreement with the union when Evans assigned officers to what was supposed to be an all-volunteer program. Rose acknowledged that he told members not to volunteer for the program before the union had reached an agreement with the city.
[...] Evans said he wants the program to begin next week and believes it's within his authority as police commissioner to order officers to wear the cameras.
No word on whether or not the Commissioner volunteered to wear a camera.

Exactly. If you're not doing anything wrong, officers, then you've got nothing to hide. Obviously the fact that not a single officer volunteered means that every single cop on that force is corrupt. They're all criminals, every single one of them, its just a matter of obtaining (or fabricating, if necessary, since we know 100% for sure that they're guilty of something) the evidence.
