And let me make sure I'm clear on my general position. I'm a huge fan of privacy. I opposed monitoring (in terms of tracking, wiretapping, search) without cause and warrant. I oppose police intimidation. In the article, as written (and honestly, we don't know all sides of this story) the harassment of the individual is inappropriate and abusive.

In public places, and that is to say: where a cop could be standing anyway, I see cameras only as being more efficient, and creating impartial records. Look at the dash-cams on police cars. They have protected both officers and civilians alike in court.
