In the wake of the police shooting and protests in Ferguson, Missouri, both sides have mentioned one possible solution: body cameras on police officers.
Elaine Nekritz is the chair of the Illinois House Judiciary Committee. She says police and citizen behavior gets better when an interaction is recorded by a camera.
"The real negative side if you want to call it that is the cost and then I think there are some real policy questions as to what kind of interactions can be recorded and who has access to that data.”
Nekritz says she expects the issue to come up in the Illinois legislature next spring.
