Seems like this is the thesis: > As policymakers rushed to equip the police with cameras, they often failed to grapple with a fundamental question: Who would control the footage? Instead, they defaulted to leaving police departments, including New York’s, with the power to decide what is recorded, who can see it and when. In turn, departments across the country have routinely delayed releasing footage, released only partial or redacted video or refused to release it at all. The impetus to avoid transparency is the strongest indication I can observe that the state will be deprecated in favor of the internet in the coming centuries.
