Quite. As a matter of fact, over the past two years I've taken a deep interest in police brutality and criminal justice reform in the United States.

Body cams are already prevalent if not quite universal. Police reform advocates post body cam footage on YouTube every day that often come to the attention of hundreds of thousands, and even of millions of people.

For the most part, I'm talking about footage of police brutality that doesn't make the headlines. Brutality in which people were not killed or gravely injured, although often injured enough to end up in the hospital ER.

Frequently, the public are able to read the police report about the incident and see that it's fiction compared to the video they're watching with their own eyes.

Sometimes, public attention is effective in that fabricated criminal charges against the people who were brutalized get dropped by prosecutors.

But only rarely do the cops involve face even the slightest consequences. Criminal charges for brutality are rare to non-existent, and department discipline is almost as rare.

Police unions and police hierarchy routinely defend brutal cops, even in the face of clear video evidence, even when the public are outraged, even when local news media get involved.

Sometimes, the only outcome of publicity is that the cop resigns under pressure, admitting no wrongdoing, and gets hired at a nearby police department or sheriff's office. Often, they re-offend, sometimes within just a few weeks or months.

How is technology supposed to fix that?

Since body cam footage and bystander footage of police brutality are routinely ignored by police hierarchy today, how would giving the police hierarchy even more video of such things create any progress?

It seems to me that police officials would become even more calloused than they already are.

And in exchange for this, we get all of our own activity monitored?

Wow.
