I don't see why we should be relying on the emotional responses of people rather than on cold hard policy. I mean, to be fair, we already have the policy, but I think we should address why it's failing to be implemented. I'd guess that it's only a small part that due to an underestimate of the amount of harm various police tactics cause targets.
This particular post clearly points out that that this is common and that there is a pattern, which IMO points to management rather than officers being the root cause.
An officer should be thinking, "Wow I'm going to lose my job or face criminal charges if I do this search", not "Hmm I don't think this person is going to enjoy this search very much". And it's pretty obvious to me from the terrible epidemic of police brutality that this attitude is not common, nor encouraged.
