Document Summary
We are at a crossroads as to how police are viewed and how they act with the public; a large part of this has to do with video cameras. In the past, it used to be police"s words vs client"s words = with no real proof, the police would often be believed. We are in a time now where police have to explain what they are doing, and why they are doing it (preventative policing, community policing, etc. : police just like getting information. Sometimes, when you try to exercise your rights, it may cause suspicion. When you deny the police to a search your backpack or you don"t stop to talk to the police, it builds suspicion. How do you exercise your right then: generally police can"t really stop you when you"re just walking down the street. Videos at the roadside seem like an easy solution, but the police officers are opposed to it.
