  “But a spokesperson for police-monitoring network Netpol said that the absence of genuine accountability for police misconduct makes public scrutiny essential.

    From his comments, I don’t think it is primarily the filing which is the issues, more the ‘with hindsite debate’ that tends to accompany the clips

    I was going to post the nothing to hide nothing to fear comment. Glad to see it popped into other people’s minds
