Smile! The next time you get stopped by an RCMP cruiser in Kelowna, you could be on tape. Kelowna's top cop is looking at adding video technology to some police vehicles. Superintendent Bill McKinnon, attending the Canadian Association of Chiefs of Police Conference in Montreal, says he has been looking at the technology for a few years. McKinnon says it will cost about $4,000 to equip a cruiser with the video technology, down from about $7,000 last year. "I'm looking at buying a few and putting them in our cars. I think it would be advantageous for our members as investigators," says McKinnon. "It will make not only the person being stopped, but also our members, more accountable for their actions."
