Because police officers are people too and should not suffer the indignity of being recorded while conducting whatever business they need to in the bathroom. On top of the fact that other people could be in there and recording random people in the bathroom should not be allowed either.
- 6510 3y agoIt seems harmless compared to the many indignities officers have to suffer. I'm curious what they think themselves. How much corruption or cocaine use would be acceptable to them? Would having the sound of your pee on recording some place be worse than having corrupt coworkers?
- _DeadFred_ 3y agoDo innocent people ever get stripped out, because that's a heck of an indignity too?
- sickofparadox 3y agoI don't know what you specifically mean by stripped out, but police do subject people to illegal indignities. Those police officers are in the wrong and should be punished, but the logical punishment for that is not "record all officers in the bathroom".
- JohnFen 3y agoI could argue this either way, personally. It seems to me that we give cops extraordinary powers and it's not unreasonable to subject them to levels of scrutiny that would ordinarily be unacceptable, to guard against the abuse of those powers. Particularly since we clearly have a problem with too many cops abusing their power. On the other hand, going to the restroom is not likely to be a place where cops abuse their power (assuming they don't have someone in custody when they do, anyway. Cops do love their loopholes.)
