"Nobody walks up to a cop when he is questioning a suspicious person or arresting somebody and stands one or two feet away. Common sense says you’re asking for trouble," Kavanagh said on Arizona PBS. Yeah, people don't because they're afraid of the police and don't want to get involved. One "solution" to that is to, as Kavanagh seems to favor, make people even more afraid... the opposite approach is to protect them and make them less afraid. Since there's nothing inherently wrong with filming police, the government should do the latter. In fact, the government should be encouraging the filming of police because police time and again have abused their power and betrayed the people's trust and their own duty. Instead, this bassackwards law makes people more afraid.
