David Solet Urges Somerville to Adopt Police Body Cameras

The Reading Observer covered David Solet’s call for Somerville to equip its police officers with body-worn cameras, describing the technology as an important tool for accuracy, transparency, and public confidence.

David argued that body cameras can protect members of the public and police officers alike by preserving objective evidence of encounters. He also emphasized their value in strengthening accountability and supporting fair, fact-based prosecutions.

The article connects David’s position to the need for public-safety decisions that use proven tools without losing sight of democratic values. As David explained, body-worn cameras are pro-accuracy, pro-truth, and ultimately pro-justice.

His message is straightforward: Middlesex communities deserve safety measures that protect residents, support officers, and help the justice system establish the truth.
