I was pretty flagrantly against body cameras for a while. But I have a friend I respect a lot that made some good arguments for them. Between that and seeing how they can be used to expose cop behavior, I am 100% on board. Mandatory body cameras for every officer.

Ideally, an independent company or companies that store and encrypt all footage, that police would have no ability to access — but that is probably a “pie in the sky” idea.

It is not safe.

It is legal.

We used to jump off the front of a (big) boat in the river (against the current)…..and by the time you come up, you are already at the back of the boat. We are all great swimmers and if we would miss the ladder on our way up we couldn’t swim back to the boat. The boat would have to come back and get us. Swimming to shore wouldn’t have been possible.

CT has the 4th highest rates in the continental US. The first figure is size of bill, not rate. And all the other high priced places are right here with us. It’s a regional issue, regardless of provider.

Name the subsidiaries you’re talking about.

I never said your response re him mixing it up was wrong. But it was irrelevant to the actual issue. The response to that was simply “you mean supply not delivery”, in effect, but then you never went on to get to the point, you just kept hammering at the mistake.

You would have to be an expert level swimmer, and have a chase boat with a well trained rescue swimmer/ take all waranted precautions, but im sure it's been done countless times over the years. But, that river has taken many lives. Is this more of a hypothetical question or do you plan to do it once its warmer?

Legally, I haven't heard anything that would stop you and it would be really hard for anyone to try considering the countless places that you can enter it. But there is a law for everything, it seems, so I wouldn't doubt something being in place.

Someone swam across the Atlantic so the CT River is not all that nuts.
