you are basically correct, and i believe these concerns were raised when that apple patent hit the news.

essentially it boils down to the unpleasant fact that it’s simply currently not required.

  1. recording & sharing recordings of such activities has already been outlawed in certain jurisdictions.

  2. media & public narrative is already tightly controlled.

  3. officers routinely get away with worse crimes against the public for the above reasons.

  4. even if a handful of individuals face some vague justice, the public foots the bill with tax payer funded settlements.

one day it probably will happen though, especially as corporations merge further with our legal systems.
