The Hawaii County marked cars do not have the dash cams.
I was amazed when I was informed about this after the police chase that ended in a vehicle crash into my property, seeing that the marked cars our county purchased were waaayy more expensive than the "average" police cars...seems our county went for the most expensive equipment package, EXCEPT not for the added documentation package (ie, no police car here has onboard computing or video/imaging of any type) the police that were engaged in the chase & crash at my house did not even seem to have a camera to document the damage done....
And seeing how they flubbed up the report on my issue... I also know they are not properly trained in any type of proper documentation.
Hardly a surprise that so many cases are dropped here, seems there is a major problem with accuracy in the police documentation & lawyers know it!
