Then what are you bitching about? Cops that interact with people every day, that already have camera's install on their cars and activate as soon as the lights are turned on, shouldn't have a problem having an extra set of eyes to prove they are in the right. Other than your trolling half you can't say there aren't instances where cops frick up and get away with it because its their word vs a "tpos" viewed person.



There are also instances where things like letting someone out of a ticket would go away. There's a whole lot more of the ice berg below the surface.

Why would discretion be thrown out of the window? that's the first part of the police process.

People get out of tickets with dash cams so they would likely still get warnings. Plus you put in the guidelines the tape can only be pulled by a third party if a complaint has been filed. This prevents captains from just watching tape all day and punishing officers that might bad mouth him on tape or punishing those that actually do police work instead of revenue collecting.

Shouldn't happen in the first place unless it's due to an emergency, ie en route to a hospital.

Completely true but what does the general population see more of? Out of context video taken AFTER a use of force situation has already happened so the police look bad or the full story of what really happened?

The minors troubles don't out weigh the potential benefits imo, especially with social media's power this day and age.
