      I misremembered and have edited my post above: the unit stupidly doesn’t wear bodycams at all.

      However, the tactical police units who stormed McKenzie’s home and shot him did not wear body cameras.

      Under previous questioning, one of the senior constables involved said, “obviously the tactical guys wanted all body-worn switched off”.

      Deputy State Coroner Harriet Grahame asked one of the tactical officers why the unit does not use body-worn video.

      Officer T1 said the team did not want tactics being given out and “inadvertently it always seems to get out on social media”.

        The article doesn’t load for me.

        Of course police doesn’t want their “go in and shoot” tactics to get out in social media. In this day and age, cops not wearing bodycams should be considered negligent.

        I hate using this argument but “they have nothing to hide don’t they?”
