[it will always come up short. It certainly gets my attention that there was no camera in the cell or officer watching a monitor. It would be interesting to know whose budget decision that was.]
I believe the courts have ruled surveillance to be a violation of privacy rights. May be wrong but I think that's the case.

In my county we monitor all the holding cells, but the cameras are aimed so you can’t see the commodes or anyone sitting on them. We stopped a suicide (just in time) owing to those cameras.
