And it definitely is worthy of discussion whether the public should have automatic access to police videos produced by body cams. The violation of the public's right to privacy also has to be a consideration. Do you want your traffic ticket to go viral on YouTube? You get stopped for routine questioning when you're in hair curlers and your bathrobe and no makeup trying to get your kid to school on time? You are innocently present at an embarrassing scene and get caught on camera?
Where does the ability of us to keep cops accountable end and our rights to go about our private lives without being under constant surveillance of the public begin?
I think that the need to keep a check on police powers (and the ability to hide videos they do not want you to see) outweighs your ‘privacy’ rights in a public setting like this.
I don’t see anything inherently wrong in them sponsoring a bill like this but I disagree with it.
That's because you either haven't thought it through, want to score political points, wish to bash my state and Southerners or you're not very bright...but likely all of the above.
Let's say you have a break-in at your home, or a trespassing call, or the police respond to a medical emergency. Do you want every swinging dick in the country to have access to the video of you and your family and the inside of your home?
I sure as hell don't.
And I don't want the government to spend millions blurring out the faces on thousands and thousands of hours of body cam footage to protect peoples privacy.
What is the third alternative?

That's a great point and I didn't consider it.
In general I don't like the idea of the government withholding of public record, but you are correct that not everyone who is on a police camera should have that exposed to the public arbitrarily.
Not sure what the 3rd alternative is that wouldn't mean costly court hearings.
That sounds like the best suggestion so far.That's because you either haven't thought it through, want to score political points, wish to bash my state and Southerners or you're not very bright...but likely all of the above.

I'm not sure about a third option either. Perhaps a civilian oversight committee, or a fee for access to cover the cost of scrubbing the video, or a media (press) based oversight.
There will be some compromise that will protect privacy, and limit cost while at the same time serve the peoples interest in police oversight and accountability.
To me they are all a bunch of racist greedy power hungry sociopaths! They don't belong in the 21st Century!
