    So what’s the angle here? Are we supposed to be mad at the LAPD for requesting footage from the surrounding area of a guy getting run down by a car? It seems like an extremely warranted reason to gather the footage. If people are worried about privacy then they need to fight for laws pertaining to backdoors and strict guidelines on when/why cameras can be supenoed. I believe it is highly likely a large majority would have voted for this to be a situation where it was turned over legally.

    “If a person is being charged with a felony for hurting another person and a judge grants it then it should be allowed. If the charges don’t lead to a conviction then it should be reviewed by a 3rd party organization of whether it should have been warranted originally. Infractions result in penalties/ dismissals of requesting parties”

    Something like that much more flushed out would be reasonable.

      It’s kind of like a slippery slope thing. I think people are just afraid of it turning into like a streaming dystopia 24-7 monitor. I will say in this situation, even though I’m not happy with that technology and all that stuff happening, you know, it was a… it was a good thing. I guess. You just can’t trust the police, but it’s all we got to sort things out. And to be honest, if our legislative body actually protected us and we had rights, we probably wouldn’t have such a negative opinion of police. But the people in office are either too self-interested or too old to even open a PDF.
