4. Sometimes they are and with film more often, that's why they opposed being on camera

Your question, rather than questioning the level of oversight and prosecution of police crimes, purports that none of them are ever prosecuted and that is simply not the case. Not enough of them? I assume that is the case? Too slowly? Very often that is true as well. But they do go down, and their resistance to being recorded on the job is all about their not wanting to see more of their own caught doing that thing they do.
The claim that they simply never get prosecuted feeds the apathy that says 'why bother trying to catch the bad cops'. I do not support it.
