Funny how the same people who want to defend personal liberty seem to believe it is OK to lose it if you are a police officer. If we are going to have accountability let’s not do some half ass measure with accountability for some let’s put cameras in every work place, let’s let your boss pull up what is on your monitor at any time. Hell let’s just put cameras in every house that will stop the bad behavior I read a book like that it seemed very effective at controlling behavior.


But I see nothing wrong with that while they are on duty. And why wouldn't I want a job where my every move is captured on tape? I'd be paid damn well for it most likely, and it's a rather small thing compared to the occupational hazard, wouldn't you say?

And like I said, it's okay for the police officer to lose it while on the job, because while on the job that officer shouldn't be engaged in any private activities anyway. He's doing his job as a public servant, and a camera on his person would actually benefit all the police, since it would allow others to later analyze that video to identify suspects, etc. It would also benefit the public, since it would give them evidence if they are actually harassed or abused somehow.

As for the remaining part of your response, you're purposefully being ridiculous. Stop wasting my time, and stop wasting your own time with that drivel. Putting up such cameras would violate a multitude of rights, piss on the constitution, then rip it up, and then light it on fire on top of that. A camera attached to a police officer's shirt wouldn't do any of that, because everything that the camera would see would be something that the cop would see as well, and therefore as long as the cop doesn't violate any laws or rights, neither will the camera.
