To Cam Or Not To Cam

So, in 2013 the ACLU went all ballistic about police not being held accountable and insisted that body cameras be worn by officers.  Ok, cool, accountability is a good thing.  Body cameras have become widely used.  Now the liberals are having a hissy fit because police are actually using their body camera footage to ensure that the reports they file are accurate.  Apparently that's giving the police "an unfair advantage" in court because the reports are no longer based solely on the officer's recollection and interpretation of the event.  Criminal defense is losing the tactic of finding errors in police reports to discredit them.  On top of that, further left-leaning folks are now claiming that body camera recordings of police encounters with alleged criminals is a "threat to the suspect's civil rights".  For crying out loud liberals, make up your damn minds.
