The only problem I can see is that like-it-or-not, some of cop's behavior involves not enforcing bad laws. Cameras might take away ability to let things slide.

The only problem I can see is that like-it-or-not, some of cop's behavior involves not enforcing bad laws. Cameras might take away ability to let things slide. Maybe that results in the long overdue reform of our laws. Maybe it just means nobody gets off the hook for anything anymore.

- briancaw2 13y agoYou never know...it's not inconceivable that they would do random reviews of officer's entire shifts as part of a review process.
- bediger4000 13y agoIsn't that the issue with automatic red-light cameras, and automated radar cameras? That is, we (as a society) have set penalties for infractions that are really high based on the danger of those infractions. We didn't have enough patrol cars or cops to enforce every stop light or speed limit, so we made the penalties quite high because of the low probability of getting caught. We must revisit all penalties if universal enforcement gets into place.
