What about the police filming people without consent or prior warning? Pretty sure that would be a-okay.
Yet, the police can videotape the arrest without your consent. That's the part that pisses me off about it.
I think that's ok because it's common knowledge that all police vehicles have mounted cameras. Therefor everyone should be aware of it. Just like the signs outside of stores that inform you of video surveillance.
I think that all police interactions should be allowed to be video taped by civilians. They shouldn't have anything to hide when doing basic stuff like writing tickets. They have guns and enforce laws so they should be held more accountable for their actions.
That's also my opinion. Unfortunately some cops cry like little bitches over it and threaten to leave the police force over it, thus forcing the department to act however necessary to kept cops from leaving.
If I was a cop, I'd absolutely want the vehicle mounted camera, and possibly a body-mounted camera that was also only accessible to my superiors.
The issue with private parties filming police is that video can be taken out of context.

I think it's the police unions putting pressure on departments is why departments have been acting to cover cops butts.
nope. I'd still see it but I don't
Crap, I've lost my mind then, fantastic.
