after some recent incidents where "everyone with a cell phone camera was detained for suspicion of smelling like marijuana", my local PD is adding 2000 or so body cameras that the police must wear when they work.
Makes perfect sense. You're a public servant. You have cameras in cars. Cameras at red lights. Cameras in many buildings. A hundred cell cameras in every crowd. yet you police decide you want to be able to have privacy when you corner someone in an alley and shoot them? lol
I think EVERY public servant should wear cameras. Mailmen, teachers, etc. You can bet teachers aren't fcking students if their actions are available for FOIA requests. You can't bet mailmen aren't stealing welfare checks if a suspicious "blank spot" appears between the sorting facility handing them the checks and it not arriving at the right porch.
Greater accountability has been PROVEN to lessen lawsuits. This means the lawyer $ can be used to pay workers more $. If you're not a shady cop that makes shit up about people trying to grab your gun, you should support it.
