Policemen and women are in a position of incredible power. It is in their best interest to have someone watch during times of crisis. Noone -plans- to become a crooked cop, its the power that corrupts.
I applaud this move. If I were a policeman I might grumble about the extra overhead.. more money for camera crews means less money for policemen, but if my personal well being is at risk of the kind of corruption LA sees every year I wouldn't grumble very long.
