Ugh.
1. You can't have 24/7 real-time surveillance of the police and have them function. Bad guys knowing where the cops are is bad.
2. This doesn't change the incentives of prosecutors who don't want to alienate the police they have to work with.
3. This doesn't guarantee that footage will make it to a jury
4. This doesn't target police unions or statutes that make it more difficult to fire / imprison police.
5. It emphasizes the us vs. them mentality and is likely to cause dangerous confrontations.
6. This doesn't breed empathy through public sacrifice which is a key tactic underlying most successfull non-violent protest movements.
