I think mandating cameras and ensuring the footage cannot easily be
manipulated is a good thing. But note that this is all about
preventing human misbehavior and abuse of power. <br>
<br>
My concern was automation making abuse of power automatable. Again,
automated use of power that can be (publicly) monitored and held
accountable is likely OK overall, but there is a real risk of either
making it untraceable/secret, or scaling it up so that when the use
becomes abuse there is no chance of responding democratically. These
are situations we ought to work to reduce the probability of. <br>
