    So they can shut the cameras off like the sheriff did to afroman?

    Its no guarantee of safety, not that you suggested as much.

          The police aren’t gonna shoot cameras. Also, there are several. Inside, outside, good luck getting away with anything in my house.

            Have you ever been in an interaction like that with the police?

            Because I’ve found that a lot of the time, people are somewhat more confident before they see just how disgustingly and openly corrupt these assholes can be.

                “Good luck getting away with anything in my house” still implies that you think that as long as you’ve recorded a police doing something illegal, he’ll face consequences for that.

                That is extremely naive.

                https://abcnews.go.com/US/afroman-pushes-back-cop-lawsuit-recent-music-video/story?id=101520072

                The cops actually sued Afroman, after breaking his shit and having it videod that they broke shit and stole from him.

                I don’t think you understand just how perverted “justice” usually is. Especially when you’re trying to get consequences for law enforcement for having broken the laws themselves.

                  They sued him for making a music video of the footage. I would not be making a music video. So, what are they going to sue me for?

                  I do understand how bad the cops are. But as long as they don’t shoot me—a different topic—they cannot get in and out of my house unnoticed. This is my only statement.

                    This is very much not mutually exclusive with “getting away with things”.

                    You’re too optimistic about the justice system.
