Should on-duty cops be required to videotape their actions?

There's already video cameras in the cars they drive. I live with my girlfriend, her sister, and her sister's boyfriend. He jumped on a cop when they were trying to detain his girlfriend, but there's a video in the car. He'll probably go to prison for a year. She was trying to pull her friend's boyfriend away from leaving and screamed so loud that people called the cops. About 5 cop cars came by and broke it up. They had him in a car and my girlfriend's sister in another car. Then the third car had my girlfriend's sister's boyfriend because of jumping on the cop. I picked her dad up to come to the scene, then we went to his house to tell his mom and took her to the police department. Then we took my girlfriend's sister off at the emergency room because she had cuts on her hands from when she fell. It all started when my girlfriend's sister's friend's boyfriend picked his girlfriend up and shook her for not telling him what's wrong. His girlfriend who is my girlfriend's sister's friend lied to the police about her age too so he wouldn't get in trouble. What's the worst part about this though is that her mom is aware of the situation and continues to allow him to live there. She's tried to get her mom to kick him out and all her mom says is that she didn't let him live there because he's her boyfriend. It's backwards parenting.

I don't see how it would be bad. Cops would have to stick to their stories if defendants could ask to watch videos in court.

If  you're still on mod-review and someone approved this, they should resign.  If you're not, you need put back on.

What makes you say that?
