I keep hearing more and more reports week after week about cops killing innocent people or unarmed people or using excessive force killing somebody. Is it that we as society are becoming more hostile or that they are not being trained as well?

Pigs been killing innocent people for a long time, but with the web, text, cell phones & such... we can access that info on the drop of a dime & maybe something that you'd of never heard about pre-1995ish, you now hear about as soon as it happens.

and their solution:


Are Cameras the New Guns?


In response to a flood of Facebook and YouTube videos that depict police abuse, a new trend in law enforcement is gaining popularity. In at least three states, it is now illegal to record any on-duty police officer.

Even if the encounter involves you and may be necessary to your defense, and even if the recording is on a public street where no expectation of privacy exists.

The legal justification for arresting the "shooter" rests on existing wiretapping or eavesdropping laws, with statutes against obstructing law enforcement sometimes cited. Illinois, Massachusetts, and Maryland are among the 12 states in which all parties must consent for a recording to be legal unless, as with TV news crews, it is obvious to all that recording is underway. Since the police do not consent, the camera-wielder can be arrested. Most all-party-consent states also include an exception for recording in public places where "no expectation of privacy exists" (Illinois does not) but in practice this exception is not being recognized.

Massachusetts attorney June Jensen represented Simon Glik who was arrested for such a recording.
