A Fairfax County supervisor says tonight it is taking too long to begin a Police Body Camera program. The Department Says it is ready to deploy them, but the county board voted to delay it another 18 months. David culver live for us. What is the hold up . Reporter jim, there are several complicating factors to this. It comes down though to money and policies. It is worth noting many will tell you added pressure right here in Fairfax County for police to wear body cameras. That stems from the 2013 shooting death of john gear. The technology has been around. Police departments around the nation have been implementing body cameras for years. And well over a year ago, Fairfax County police started exploring Pilot Programs of its own, but just this week the county board another 18 months. What went through my mind is i would like to see if we couldnt do better than that and i think we can. Reporter the supervisor says other departments are doing it. Fairfax should be too. He said the police chief is ready to Start Testing in the field. Chief has been working on it for a couple years now. I think he feels very comfortable that hes ready to pilot a project of body cameras. Reporter the chief tells me there are a lot of moving parts when it comes to implementing a Body Worn Camera for his department, especially given the size of Fairfax County and its police force. They have to determine what point the officer will actually turn on the camera. Then when interacting with a potential suspect that video could eventually be made public in which case they have to decide to show that persons face or blur it. How do you store all that video data and how long . And money. The million, costing another 4 million each year. It wont be inexpensive, but its an investment i think we should make. Reporter the chief tells me should the county give him the goahead he could start that Pilot Program within 90 days. The county chairman says she wants this program, but she and the chief agree they want it done right the first time. Im david culver, news4.

After clinton blasted trumps attacked her time as secretary of state. Chris lawrence is here with the latest on the race for the white house. Jim, they havent even become the official nominees yet. This is already shaping up to be one of the ugliest campaigns in modern history. After clinton tore into trump during a speech in ohio yesterday, he fired right back. Trump accused her of running the state Department Like her own personal hedge fund and he took swipes at what he called her fail policies and bad judgment. Were asking Bernie Sanders supporters to join our movement so we can fix the system for all americans. She doesnt have the temperament or, as Bernie Sanders said very strongly, the judgment to be president. No secretary of state has been more wrong more often and in more places than Hillary Clinton. Her Campaign Slogan is imh that . Im with you, the american people. Its not the first time that trump has made overtures to sanders supporters, but Hillary Clintons campaign was quick to response. Her Campaign Manager said he was counting the number of lies in trumps speech and had already gotten up to 15. Clinton spent part of her day meeting with democratic lawmakers and then went to raleigh, north carolina, where she also responded to trump. The Clinton Foundation helps poor people around the world get access to lifesaving aids medicines. Donald trump uses poor people around the world to produce his line of suits and ties. Okay.
