I might have more sympathy for this position if it didn't seem like the majority of LEOs weren't trying to deny the public the ability to record their (the LEO's) activities. The public has the right to record the LEOs conducting traffic stops etc, yet many LEOs try to prevent this. And with the rise of body cams, LEOs, as a group, seem to be trying to prevent ANY access of the footage to the public.
LEOs want NO impediments to their job that may make it more difficult. And that seems to include ANY public oversight on their conduct.
Quis custodiet ipsos custodes? As far as LEOs are concerned - no one./div>
How about all lawyers working for the court system be pool lawyers? They walk in each morning, spin the wheel to find out if they are prosecutor, judge or defense, then spin again for the case. They all get paid the same scale, win or lose.
