The large facility of the company from which I just retired had 16 of the cameras on 18" flat screens that were physically monitored 24/7.
If those people can work with the cameras on all the time, so can cops.

It's always safest to assume that we're dealing with a racist, violent, and dishonest cop, whose colleagues and supervisors will cover for them no matter what they do.

running into someone because he felt like it.

It must be due to the citizens of Boston having a set of deep pockets and don't mind paying for lawsuits.

damn, personal immunity is a wonderful thing.
