- bsder 9y agoThe "nothing to hide" argument is not relevant for a public servant whose job, by definition, is occurring in public. Since we give police more power than the average citizen, the more appropriate argument would be: "Who will guard the guards themselves?" https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Quis_custodiet_ipsos_custodes%3F https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Quis_custodiet_ipsos_custodes%... At then end of the day, the appropriate answer in a Democratic system must eventually be "the people, themselves". Body cams don't magically make police better. But, without them, you can't even begin the process.
