I can understand why cops hate being filmed - especially the vets. Not because they have anything to hide but because it's still a relatively new phenomenon for them and I'm not sure they know how to handle it yet. Are police forces actively teaching cops how to respond to being filmed?

I can't imagine trying to do my job under high stress circumstances, knowing every move is being scrutinized and that the footage can and often is edited to look as damning as possible. Christ - I hate it when my boss stands behind at my desk while I navigate a damn spreadsheet.
