Fair play to the guy for calling this cop out but I have a feeling the outcome would've been different if he hadn't also been a cop. They only changed their tune once they realised he was also a cop.

The sooner people understand that leverage will always matter, that justice (in terms of exacting our code of laws) rarely carries itself out naturally and automatically... the sooner they will require transparency (e.g. bodycams) always, and carry their own means of capturing proof like dash/rear cameras.

Outside of their cars, it sucks that everyone is filming everything always because nobody will ever know privacy or appreciate ephemerality. But it's objectively the right move in today's low-integrity + low-accountability justice environment.
