Except they have full control over those cameras and the footage they record.

Anytime there’s misconduct they just refuse to release the footage or they turn off the camera.

We should have civil rights organizations be in charge of the footage.

Make them automatically upload to ACLU servers.

Police brutality plummets.

Except even when they are filmed nothing happens, they just get paid leave or shuffled to another department.

At least then the victim's family can get a wrongful death payout. It would be even better if they abolished qualified immunity.
