Look at Cargo's videos, and that's just scratching the surface. Imagine a cop treating you like that during a routine traffic stop for going 6 over. Hypothetically, what would stop them from doing that?
A body cam incriminates cops who do stuff they shouldn't be doing. It can also indemnify them and ensure we're spending taxpayer dollars on people who should actually be in jail. If a cop can pick a fight with someone, throw them in jail, then write whatever they want in the report, that's a short circuit of the entire Constitution. I don't trust them at their word if there's an objective way to record everything on their shoulder and they chose not to turn it on.
Also, I know a few guys who've had really messed up run ins with the law, including a guy whose a lawyer, two AF pilots, an AF Security Forces officer, an AF aero engineer, and another guy who was a retired lawyer. I saw a couple of them firsthand, and there was nothing professional about it. I'd say it was like a third world country, but at least over there you can just give them $100 to **** off.
