      No doubt, I’m all for the increased optics. But, police abuse of power has likely dropped a bit since everyone has a video camera in their pocket, but due to the nature of the statistics we’ll never know for sure one way or another.

      I was mostly arguing against the notion that things have gotten worse when the truth is that it’s just more visible. Same goes for stupid people and crazies.
