Raising funds for Michigan
My name is Tierney Campbell and I'm running this fundraiser to try to raise money for the Police Department of Michigan to help pay for body mounted cameras whilst they are on the streets and make it a law that they must be worn to deter would be attackers and improve safety in the commnity.
All monies received will be forwarded to the Police Dept of Michigan.
Help us pass a law requiring police to wear body cameras in Benton Harbor, Michigan.
The shooting death in Benton Harbor, Michigan , highlights the need for greater accountability and transparency in the doing of police work.
Had the officer involved in that incident been wearing a functioning personal camera, we might have gotten unambiguous video evidence of what actually happened, and the unrest might have been averted. Neither the technology nor the practice are new: several jurisdictions in the United States already use the cameras.
What can you do?
Help make police cameras a reality in Benton .
The city's charter can be legally changed by citizen initiative, i.e., by a new law or statute that is posted to the ballot which the people of Benton can vote upon in the next election. A citizen initiative bypasses the politicians and lets citizens of Benton decide for themselves whether a measure becomes the law of the land.
To get the question posted means we must conduct a petition campaign to gather enough signatures from the voters.
This work costs money.
