By Joe Schoenmann
Las Vegas Sun
LAS VEGAS — Metro Police don't have dashboard cameras, but this week officers will begin testing one type of body-worn camera with hopes of purchasing more of the cameras and putting them into regular use within the next fiscal year.
Money to purchase the cameras for the force has been set aside in next fiscal year's Metro budget.
County Commissioner Steve Sisolak sits as one of five people on Metro's Fiscal Affairs Committee, which oversees Metro's budget. He said testing of the cameras would be completed in July, but the department planned to look at four or five more camera models before making a decision on which one to buy.
He added that he was happy to see Metro getting the cameras.
"It's something that will protect both officers who are wrongly accused and help clear up allegations and issues of police and citizen conduct more conclusively," Sisolak said. "Ultimately, (the cameras) will strengthen the public's trust in the department."
To get the cameras in use, however, Metro might have to first defend itself in court. The Las Vegas Police Protective Association is not backing down from its contention such cameras can't be forced upon officers without first negotiating with the union.
Chris Collins, union president, said the cameras represent a "clear change in working conditions," as they add new requirements to an officer's daily routine, including downloading the camera's data. The cameras, he added, also could impact an officer's safety. Both factors, he said, mean it is "mandatory" for the department to include the cameras within the scope of its union contract.
If the department moves to buy the cameras without that contractual consideration, "we are going to take legal action," Collins added.
Sheriff Doug Gillespie could not be reached for comment. But when the Sun outlined a similar union argument in February, the sheriff replied that he didn't see body cameras as a contract matter. If the union's contention on the camera were true, Gillespie had reasoned, the department also would have to negotiate when putting lights on a police car and a shotgun inside it.
Gillespie had said he was committed to getting the body cameras, which are being used or tested at hundreds of departments throughout the country. At the time, the sheriff's only worry was how to pay for the program.
Metro's budget for fiscal year 2012-13 appears to have resolved that issue. The department will use money from its forfeiture fund to purchase the cameras. By Nevada law, confiscated cash, along with proceeds from sales of items that came from "the commission or attempted commission of any felony" can be put into a forfeiture fund.
In the coming year, the department projects a base forfeiture fund of $1.45 million, with an additional $6.88 million added to it from the fund balance of the overall budget to bring the total to $8.3 million. The forfeiture fund shows projected expenses of $5.2 million for "minor equipment" and $2.8 million for "capital equipment."
Sisolak said that until a camera model was chosen, the exact amount of money drawn from the fund to pay for the cameras wouldn't be known.
Metro's lack of even dashboard cameras became more noticeable due to some recent cases involving incidents of alleged police misconduct.
Earlier this year, for instance, the city of Henderson agreed to a nearly $260,000 settlement, with Nevada kicking in another $35,000, due to the dashboard recording of an October 2010 incident involving Henderson Police Sgt. Brett Seekatz.
Michael Greene was captured on a Nevada Highway Patrol dashcam swerving as he drove east on Lake Mead Parkway. After Greene was dragged from his car and five officers put him on the ground, Seekatz came into camera shot and kicked Greene in the head five times. Greene, it was discovered, was suffering from diabetic shock. Seekatz was disciplined by the department but not fired. City Council members said they didn't know of the incident until this year. They were angered by it and, shortly after the Sun published the video, Henderson Police Chief Jutta Chambers announced her retirement.
Metro had its own embarrassing video incident from March 2011.
Resident Mitchell Crooks was videotaping police on a routine stop near Maryland Parkway and Desert Inn Road, when Officer Derek Colling approached him and, within seconds, had Crooks, who was now screaming, on the ground and under arrest. Colling's approach and questions are caught on video; then the camera is dropped. Talk and screaming can be heard but none of the subsequent altercation is on video.
Crooks filed a federal lawsuit alleging his rights were violated. Charges against Crooks were dropped, and the sheriff fired Colling in December. (Trying to get his job back, Colling filed a complaint with an arbitrator.)
In February, Metro agreed to pay a $100,000 settlement to Crooks.

A PRISONER killed his cellmate in response to hallucinatory instructions from aliens to sacrifice someone in order to go to paradise, a judge has found.

Mohamed Aliwijaya was in jail on remand for stabbing a friend in an unsuccessful attempt to obey the instructions, Justice Lucy McCallum said in the NSW Supreme Court on Wednesday.

She conducted a judge-alone trial of Aliwijaya, 20, who was charged with murdering Robson Pham in April 2010 in a two-man cell at the Metropolitan Reception and Remand Centre in Sydney's Silverwater jail.

She found him not guilty on the grounds of menal illness, accepting evidence from two psychiatrists that he suffers from a treatment-resistant schizophrenic illness.

Both concluded he was suffering from a serious mental illness at the time of the offence, with acute symptoms including persecutory beliefs and auditory hallucinations.

Aliwijaya told police he stomped on his cellmate with his feet, tried to choke him, and kicked him a number of times as he tried to crawl away.

The cause of death was fatal pressure to the neck.

Aliwijaya told psychiatrists that about two years before the killing, he began hearing alien voices telling him he would be relieved from pain and misery and go to paradise, if he killed someone.

Initially, he did not believe the voices but in March 2010, he took a train to Broken Hill to go "UFO hunting".

"After five days circumnavigating Broken Hill on foot, a series of perceptions (which I am satisfied were hallucinations) persuaded him as to the existence of UFOs and the authenticity of the voices he was hearing," the judge said.

"The accused initially attempted to follow the instructions of the aliens' voices by stabbing a friend but the friend survived."

After being charged with wounding him with intent to inflict grievous bodily harm, Aliwijaya was taken into custody on remand at Silverwater.

Justice McCallum ordered him to be detained as a forensic patient until, or if, he is deemed not to be a danger to the community or himself.

A MAN chose the wrong audience to get naked for when he stripped off in front of police on a Brisbane street.

Rodney Luke Coleman, 28, of Alice River appeared in custody in the Brisbane Magistrates Court today charged with wilful exposure on Makerston St next to police headquarters.

Police told the court they were in the area when they saw Coleman refusing to get out of a taxi.

They approached and began conducting checks on the 28-year-old as he stood on the footpath, where he proceeded to disrobe.

He initially took off his shirt followed by his shorts and his underwear, all of which was observed by a female who was also in police custody.

Coleman's defence lawyer said he admitted to being a "pest" and to consuming some drugs he didn't usually take.

He also pleaded guilty to unlawful use of a rental car he hired in Townsville and failed to return last October.

The vehicle was found abandoned on the side of the road in Brisbane last month.

Magistrate Jim Herlihy discharged Coleman on the wilful exposure charge and imposed a four month jail term for the unlawful use which was suspended for one year.
