I agree on the first claim, but to the second, it is a two-edged sword. If the police are in your home, they may or may not see anything interesting. If they have video to play back, they may get a second chance to look for something that they wouldn't have had.
I don't deny the benefit we seek, but there are risks, as well.
- mayanksinghal 13y agoBut shouldn't it be the case that if police is given a search warrant, we (as people, in general) want them to notice anything and everything there is to notice? This is also something I would reply to your sibling comment as well, I think many would prefer a footage of their state instead of a description of it from a police officer who might be confused/distracted/filling-up-the-gaps. It is both more objective and more just. Jury should be allowed to see as it was and not just as it is displayed during the trial.
- RyJones 13y agoI admit I wasn't thinking of search warrants. I was thinking of the times where I've had police in my domicile, all of which were in response to calls for assistance.
- jlgreco 13y agoI fear the police more when they are in my home than after the fact. Police brutality, planted evidence, and plain old dishonesty have more potential to harm me than the truth.
