Do you support requiring police officers to wear body-cameras?

Yes, without doubt or hesitation. People who basically have absolute power need to be monitored as much as possible.

I think we should be allowed, and far as I know we are, to film police officers, but the onus should NOT be on us to capture on film a cop beating someone down or fudging a report or shooting an unarmed person. There should be a visual record of everything they do while on duty. Too often they resort immediately to deadly force before they even know what the hell is going on.

You can google it, but there was a case a year or so ago of the cops (one female) molesting other women along the road in - you guessed it - Texas. A visual record of body searches along the road was used to terminate the cops, which is what should have happened. They were perverts and thugs. There was a similar case in Nevada where a cop molested a woman in family court and tried to arrest her for "false testimony against a police officer," which isn't even a crime. I don't know how that turned out, though. It was too infuriating for me to bother to follow up on.
