I think you'd find most police departments, on the whole, value their video cameras as it backs them up very much more than it hurts them.
Indeed, plus it gets them some revenue from selling the footage to the "Police video" TV companies...
Banning the cameras is an astounding bit of wrong-thinking as a way to solve a possible privacy issue - surely the thing to do is ban anyone from taking the footage away or passing it on? Seeing that they just locked up the WikiLeaks bloke for half a lifetime, I can't see that it can be difficult to ensure this happens.
Keeping it within the control of the FD and any Government Department with a need for it, has to be the right solution, surely?
