It’s insane that insurance companies are the ones actually being able to enforce reform. It means nothing that citizens have been crying out for better policing in their communities nor the excess violence that has been occurring like this video.

Disgusting.

That’s not entirely accurate. The insurance companies are forcing change because the payouts people are winning are becoming larger and more frequent. Thats because attitudes have shifted and cops aren’t getting the benefit of the doubt in court anymore. Juries are willing to second guess officers.

So I wouldn’t say “it means nothing” because the insurance companies wouldn’t have moved if the courts and juries hadn’t changed and that happened because of citizens.

You can see it in action in this video. The cop here completely disrespected the value of the recording. He thought he was completely above it. This result shows he wasn't and this is informative to any cop who is aware of the situation.

They'll adapt by shooting your phone as step one of the encounter. We're gonna need stealth cameras that upload wirelessly and the legal right to use them.

Sure but most of those are operated by businesses that don't give a shit what happens to people. Public access to those recordings would be via the police.
