Should be legal everywhere. Does Canada have this law too? Is there some way of tying taxpayor dollars to their service for the city you live in as a checks and balance system, to offer accountability, for what taxpayor dollars are being spent on in each area of police work. Is that a police commision?

Could that eliminate corruption.

The city is taping YOU with your taxpayor dollars, red light and in car cameras..... How do television shows like cops exist. If one policeman is taped, why do they think they can choose which policeman is taped? The same principle should be applied.

Do they (the police) subject themselves to a certain amount of expected public scrutiny, just as they would accept perceived heroizm, when they sign on as a police officer in the first place. I think when you sign on as a police officer then it is implied consent that we may be recording them, as well, especially now that they are recording us.

They may be recording you on a voice recorder and justify it in order to "help them with their paperwork" How do we know...guess they don't need to justify it since they already have been doing this awhile.

Should we be allowed equal opportunity to record them if we are allowed the right to an impartial trial.

Should'nt a police officer if he is using these tactics against you expect you could be using the same thing on your behalf....should the need arise.

Why if he is following the law of good conduct as a policeman need to be fearull or object to being recorded in their job in the first place.
