makes sense in theory though if we want to have an all access government that the people are supposed to watch to ensure its doing its job.
Making it illegal to video tape police is ridiculous. How else are we supposed to ensure our own public safety? We trust our protection to Police in return for stability. Without the public's ability to check in on them, we are at risk of losing that stability.
Yeah, transmit all those videos directly to youtube and watch the rape reporting go way down. Do you realize how many victims of crime wouldn't dare call the cops if they were guaranteed to be on youtube? There's a certain level of confidentiality in our judicial system on BEHALF of VICTIMS for a good reason.
You'd also have to throw out juries altogether unless access was limited to well after the trial because everyone would already know half the case.
The only solution is to send the videos to a third party that is already part of the judicial system but not directly related to the police force.
Videos shot by bystanders are legal and should be treated as such. Cops are just making shit up as they go along.
