<rant>A few are shameless crooks with a badge and a gun, some are just unprofessionaly aggressive and there's a few good ones here and there. The prob is for them: does someone "betray" a fellow officer whom has their life in their hands? The police leadership has to be solid, set the tone and be relentless about actual professionalism and service, instead of being a menace to the community.</rant> Perhaps police should all have "GoPro" cameras permanently on them and their vehicles streaming live to a web archive whenever they're on duty (apart from bathroom, etc.) so that whatever happens is permanent part of the public record.

Police deal with vulnerable people on a regular basis. Putting everything they do on public record would cause a lot of harm. Not that I'm saying there shouldn't, ideally, be some definitive record of events - and technology seems to be getting there. But the conflicting demands for accountability and privacy can be pretty complex. If you're dealing with a kid who's been cautioned for drug possession, who gets to look at those records? If someone reports a rape?
