One of the interesting things about this article is that it provides a good example of how unresponsive government can be to the wishes of its subjects. This is an article written in a mainstream publication and there were 266 comments. I perused the comments and saw that nearly everyone found this practice by the police to be reprehensible, and yet they keep doing it anyway.

This part of the article says it all:

"“Had I recorded an officer saving someone’s life, I almost guarantee you that they wouldn’t have come up to me and say, ‘Hey, you just recorded me saving that person’s life. You’re under arrest.’ ’’"
