I think it would generally be a good thing for cops kicking down doors to have working body cameras; the state's monopoly on violence is easily abused, and should be carefully monitored.

But if the cops get the wrong address for their no-knock warrant, kick down my door, and find me jerking off in my bedroom - I would prefer the footage not be made public.

Your best defense against this obvious attempt to obstruct justice is "but my penis may be exposed"? Really?

This community really turned around its stance on transparency and openness in the blink of an eye. It's baffling.
