Police dashcams and bodycams are there to protect officers as much as the public. This being said, I can totally understand why many officers aren't too thrilled about being recorded every second of their shift, and clearly in Chicago several of them have taken action. Police officers are thrown into highly stressful situations every single day, and even "good" cops will make poor decisions from time to time. I think Police dash cams are in the public's best interest, and strongly believe that citizen journalism is helping communities hold authorities accountable, but there needs to be a balance between accountability and unfair scrutiny. Once this balance is found, hopefully incidents such as those described in the article will drop significantly.
