Good lord, I’d heard people who think like flaglady exist.

As an aside, is it extreme of me to say we ought to have live camera’s on all courthouses, police stations, jails etc.? I mean they are up in our grill storing phone records, google searches etc. (in case it’s ever needed). Maybe we ought to have the chance to watch the watchers.

Obviously joking...sort of.

Didn’t Bush say about the terrorists “they hate us for our freedoms”. I can’t help but wonder, do you think they like us now?

Some departments are already experimenting with police wearing cameras.

A retired police officer that I know predicts that all police will be required to wear cameras and have them on while on duty, within a decade.

I think he is right.

“THE Rialto study began in February 2012 and will run until this July. The results from the first 12 months are striking. Even with only half of the 54 uniformed patrol officers wearing cameras at any given time, the department over all had an 88 percent decline in the number of complaints filed against officers, compared with the 12 months before the study, to 3 from 24.”
