Being arrested for defending yourself is a separate issue. The points brought up in that post.
- You're right mandated body cams is great. I'm undecided about not being able to view the footage before authoring a report. I can see how minute details can be used to get someone off the hook but on the other hand, it forces police to 100% be aware of exactly what they're doing, why they're doing it and how they're doing it. That's huge because a lot of police stamp all over people's rights without any repercussion. This could save a lot of people who were presumed guilty until they were proven innocent. Police make up small details to fit a bigger lie all of the time.
- The examples listed here... Could it make people feel uncomfortable? Sure. Is it legal? Absolutely. It is your responsibility to keep things you want private, private. A lot of property disputes are from people who don't understand how property lines, easements, and trespassing work. This stops police from violating your rights because someone didn't understand what they called the cops on your for. Police aren't feelings enforcers.
- I need to read exactly which part of the Bill that's being referenced here but it sounds like it has some emotional flare added and might not accurately depict what's being done. What I'm assuming is, this would help you when police give you UNlawful orders and tell you they're lawful. If you don't break the law, this is a protection for you.
- You can already file anonymous complaints and they get added to their record. If you were found not guilty, but still had the complaints.. that would still prove you were not guilty and the complaints don't hold merit. Again, they're trying to make you feel a certain way with how they worded this. I'm tired of typing but what I'm trying to get at is if you don't like bad police and like good police... these things aren't bad and add protections to people so that they don't have their rights violated by the bad police.

That's huge because a lot of police stamp all over people's rights without any repercussion. This could save a lot of people who were presumed guilty until they were proven innocent. Police make up trivial details to fit a bigger lie all the time. Viewing the footage beforehand helps them paint their narrative and fix the gaps.
