Chief Stipe Posted October 6, 2023 Share Posted October 6, 2023 https://www.hrnz.co.nz/news/cameras-to-be-worn-by-rib-investigators-from-today/ 2 October 2023 , News Body worn cameras (BWCs) are being introduced by the RIB from 2 October 2023, primarily to protect the safety of our investigators, while also providing evidential benefits. A BWC is a small camera worn on the clothing or attached to a vest worn by an investigator, used to gather audio and video. Research shows these cameras, commonly worn by people in compliance roles, will be a deterrent against anti-social and obstructive behaviour such as verbal or physical abuse, which may occur while Investigators are making enquiries in the course of their work. A camera will only be activated where an Investigator has concerns for their safety and / or those around them, or in an investigative capacity to gather evidence. To ensure the correct operation of these devices, the RIB has completed a privacy impact assessment, implemented new Standard Operating Procedures, along with each Investigator receiving training.

billy connolly Posted October 6, 2023 Share Posted October 6, 2023 FFS, and who investigates the investigators? Next they'll be carrying guns, or as was the case with Ross Neal... a mutton gun ! https://www.stuff.co.nz/sport/racing/81747631/under-fire-racing-official-ross-neal-resigns 2 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Is this what happens when ex police take over the RIB? This sounds very police state to me. What cases of serious abuse has there been to bring this on? 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chief Stipe Posted October 7, 2023 Author Share Posted October 7, 2023 Not that it seems to help much. I saw a photo of them dressed up before an INCA raid. They were wearing Poilice clothing, flak jackets and radios. All that evidence has worked out well for them.....NOT! Basically the culture created by hiring ex-Cops is that they believe the racing industry is a cesspit of crime. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
curious Posted October 8, 2023 Share Posted October 8, 2023 (edited) Was in a couple of other large professional organisations last week. There was evidence of the odd security person but they were not wearing body cams and certainly didn't act like they were expecting their valued customers to attack them in any way. What on earth are the RIB thinking here? There's a chance they'll end up getting exactly what they are asking for. If that's remotely necessary in the game, I'm not sure I want to play any more.

Freda Posted October 8, 2023 Share Posted October 8, 2023 On a humorous note, as a child, I went to Randwick races with my father. Was entranced by the sight of policemen on course wearing guns in holsters, exclaimed loudly, pointing, to father that it was just like the movies...to be hurriedly shushed by an embarrassed Dad. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I told one to get fukked at 11am in the morning at a dog meeting when they wanted to drug test me. Called another a scumbag and joe hunt for back dooring a trainer in a Ross Neal operation. They are very low hanging fruit on the tree of morals. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Reefton Posted October 12, 2023 Share Posted October 12, 2023 Body cams???????? What a deadset tragedy John Oatham didn't have one on on January 5th. He could have shown conclusive evidence of the slip marks that Madison Rose made to prove the track was unsafe and also played us the footage of the Jockeys in the room 'agreeing unanimously' to abandon the meeting. 'On no sorry that footage was deleted by mistake' 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
