"State Rep. Tom McMilllin, R-Rochester Hills, said Monday he was glad Obama and White House officials agreed that having body cameras for police is a good idea.But, he’d rather see the states themselves pay for their own purchases.
“Frankly, the feds have put me and my kids in enough debt, I wouldn’t want them adding to it,” McMillin said.
“Them providing body cameras to state and local police officers in Michigan isn’t a proper role of the federal government, in my opinion.
We could figure out how to pay for it here in Michigan.”
McMillin introduced a bill last month that would require all police officers in Michigan to wear body cameras."
