I agree, for the most part. No right of privacy on duty, but they should have a reasonable expectation of discretion. For example, if there are two officers driving a beat somewhere, and they're wearing a recording device of some sort, if they choose to discuss family matters with each other, that has no reason to make it to the public record. However, if in the middle of their conversation, they spot someone doing a purse-snatching, all of the events surrounding that crime should be available for the record. I would expect someone from the court to make the sensible decision as to what goes into the record.
- baddox 13y agoI understand why your call for discretion sounds like a good idea, but the only conceivable implementation will be cops (either those cops themselves, or other employees of the police force) deciding which stuff is irrelevant personal stuff and which stuff is public record. And there's no reasons to believe that discussion of their own misconduct would ever make it to the public record.
