This has some implications for our future. Will the government find local LEO's sufficient, or will they need to import Canadian and/or Mexican or other LEOs. In Iran, they needed Palie and Syrian help. In the recent situation in Syria, they used Iranian help. LEOs without local ties do have advantages to governments that increase repression.
Funny. The cops can videotape citizens, with red light cameras and cop car cameras, all day. But let one of them be videotaped and suddenly it’s “obstruction.”
Works for me.
I find it much easier to return fire on those who don’t live in my city, state or country ;)
