(4,462 posts)As government employees, police have a number of constitutional, statutory and contractual privacy protections, regardless of whether you believe "they have a long way to dig out of the hole" of the criminal justice system.
More importantly, the public at large has constitutional privacy rights that could potentially be infringed with police cameras absent careful and clear policies on their use. It is an evolving and complicated area of law and policy.
I also hope you remember your claims about the purported ease and acceptability of recording public employees because many Republicans and conservatives would just love the opportunity to record the mostly liberal and unionized workforce of whom public employees are mostly comprised. I believe you need to have a word the various teachers unions...
