Apparently freedom of information here in the US means the police will just give out videos of anything to media outlets.

That's also why you see celebrity mug shots getting published.

I've actually had this conversation with a coworker here. What does the publication of videos like this do other than to embarrass the individual being arrested? Why do we, as the public, need to see this?
