@TomWyliehart Yep. But might not have been tractable 5 years ago. Or 10. (The storage is the bigger issue.)
7/Not one bit of what I've just said reduces the moral imperitive that we continue to push for accountability, legal change, and justice.
6/Information technology has a liberal bias.
It can be used in conservative & horrific ways. But overall, pro-transparency & democracy.
5/Same trend means: Even if cops don't wear cameras, eventually, the default is that WE will record the cops. WE will watch the watchmen.
4/Universal body cameras on cops, in turn, are only really feasible because of the march of tech. Cameras & esp storage are getting cheap.
3/There have been other black kids shot. This one is driving more momentum for body cameras on cops than ever before. A very good thing.
2/Twitter, when used well, is a less filtered news source than any other. It can be a platform for awareness and (at times) social justice.
1/Before twitter, I would have heard far less about both Mike Brown and #Ferguson protests. And it would have been more biased towards cops

@brucedhendrix I don't think those of us who'd be willing to make such a change are the problem.
@joemts Yeah. A lot could be different then.
@brucedhendrix Let's hope.
FWIW, I register to cops as white. I live in a nice area. I worked in tech. I have privilege.
All the more important to see the problem.

@sblackmoore Yeah. Your point about small towns is good. And in big cities, also an issue with different neighborhoods.
RT @jzieger: @ramez Lyft for police officers--rate the cop after each interaction.
@jzieger Yeah. That's just where my head was going.
Community ratings and reviews on cops.
Tech can play a big role in improving policing while reducing abuse.
But it's not in a vacuum. Tech amplifies govt style and vice versa.
@sblackmoore Yeah. Maybe. We elect the sherrif in a lot of counties. But not the city chief of police. Or the state patrol regional head.
Imagine a world where most police officers were chosen by the community they policed. And answerable to it.
How would we build that?
@sblackmoore Yeah. You would think that.
I've never bought into the libertarian fantasy of privatized police forces.
I do find myself fantasizing now about community policing.
@sblackmoore They're thinking "control the situation" instead of "calm the situation" or "defend the rights of these citizens"
Folks should look at @WesleyLowery's tweets now.
It's clear, tonight, (again) the #Ferguson police are the ones escalating the situation.
Perhaps police forces should also be "of the people, by the people, and for the people."

@Robertwaldeck Now you're just talking circularly. Goodnight.
@Robertwaldeck @harper The ACLU guide is pretty sensible. You can capture lots, then toss out periods w/ e.g. no arrests or complaints.
@Robertwaldeck @harper Always on is tractable. Maybe 2TB of data per year / officer. That costs about $200. And we can throw away some.
@Robertwaldeck @harper The ACLU policy paper on this is pretty solid, and should be a win/win: http://t.co/r3u62fEvcg
@Robertwaldeck @harper I'm oversimplifying. But video has been more successfully used internally by departments than by defendants.
@Robertwaldeck Usually turned on only during interactions. < 10% of the day, if that.
And yes, but not vice versa at present. @harper
@Robertwaldeck @harper Less than $100 / officer per year for the raw storage cost of a year's video.
@Robertwaldeck @harper At min, you should be able to request video for an interaction you had with an officer. Can't noww.

@BenReser @ioerror Actually, that is probably not a nametag. See a similar example (with clear documentation) here: http://t.co/5xHVEF9Lam
