Pros? Cons? The only con I have heard is the privacy issue. The pictures are in the public domain and a lot of people who were not actually arrested can still have their image popping up on youtube. Well, if you are in the public domain and somebody films you, from what I know, that is not an invasion of your civil rights. Now I am not sure how this works on private property, but I suspect those rules may be different during police activity?? That is the problem. We expect the cops to be able to go lots of places where we have the expectation of privacy but that camera is going to see everything, not just the reason the cop was there. The cop himself is prevented from using a lot of things he sees but the camera still sees it. I am mostly referring to innocent 3d parties, not the object of the enquiry. No, I understand completely. They may have to make a "poison pill" law where they can not use the vid as evidence for a warrant or in court. Maybe the film can only be used in a court case to prove or disprove the actions of the cop, or others directly involved in the incident, maybe only to be viewed at all by court order, and in the presense of a judge. What I am suggesting is the "daily vid" is sealed and not even the cop sees it until such time as a judge calls it out.... The videos taken from squad cars are used routinely in courts as evidence. Most seem to be DUI arrests. Interestingly, there is very little discussion here of the seemingly weekly incidents of outrageous police brutality perpetrated on unarmed civilians. Sometimes but rarely are these attacks recorded on "cop-cams." If they are recorded, it's usually because a bystander sees the police attacking someone and they record it, and then the cops try to stop the bystander from recording, or they try to grab the camera away. We've all seen the vids of these incidents, the one in which four cops knock some guy or gal to the ground, and then continue to beat the crap out of that person who is no longer a threat to anyone...or the cops start shooting an unarmed person and keep shooting and shooting and shooting. Remember that incident in NYC when Guiliani was mayor? Bruce Springsteen memorialized it in a song called "American Skin - 41 Shots." Four thug cops fired 41 shots into an innocent man who was trying to get his wallet out of his pants. The police are out of control. They're acting like the "special" police forces in the old Sov Bloc used to act. Springsteen: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aQMqWAiWPMs I don't know about being "out of control". How many people are stopped or detained by police across this country every day for various reasons? My guess is a million or more. So a weekly report (assuming that's an accurate assumption) of a police action gone wild doesn't sound like an epidemic. |

Oh donnie, still trying to start fights you can run away from... |
