Agreed. I have no problem with the police having access to modern tools, but there needs to be very strict oversight in how they use it. There needs to be reasonable cause to collect this type of information, and generally that should only be granted by a judge, and how and for how long the data is retained need to be strictly controlled. A perfect example is a protest. The police should not be allowed to arbitrarily snap pictures of everyone involved in a protest, but if someone is causing problems like throwing things, lighting fires, destroying property, etc. then have at it.
So police shouldn't be able to film protesters or any other incident they are involved in but protesters and the rest of the public should be? Does that mean police shouldn't wear body cameras or have them mounted in their cars?
