That clip is a classic from cops and is rather old. The camera had nothing to do with the cops behavior though, he and the rest of the cops on scene (who were not shown in the edited online clip) were genuinely mistaken about which house(s) were on fire and in that high stress situation erred on the side of caution. As for smashing the windows he obviously couldn't get in through it was attention grabbing for the resident and most likely a stress reaction to the need to get her out quickly rather than a thought out plan. Afterwards (and I don't think they showed this in the youtube version either) a number of the officers rib him about busting the windows he couldn't get through. The windows were repaired at department expense.

Oversight of the police like this is sorely needed everywhere.
