- jamesBB 14y agoThat's pretty darn cynical, I think people in general want their privacy respected, regardless of power level.
- revelation 14y agoPrivacy comes from private. What you do in your function as a public servant is not private.
- DanBC 14y agoCivilians may be uncomfortable with police officers recording everything all the time. See, for example, discussion about CCTV in England. There are many valid concerns about the amount of stuff that's recorded.

- leot 14y agoThis is in part because cops (indeed, nearly everyone) behave better when their actions are recorded.
