This is an excellent argument for having surveillance cameras not just with policemen, but in all (e.g.) restaurant bathrooms. Nobody is going to view the footage unless there is an incident.

But do we trust that? No. Do the police unions trust that? No. Do people who happen to be in a bathroom at the same time with a policeman trust that? No.

Personally I wouldn't care if every public/restaurant/whatever bathroom had a camera, why should I? The stalls aren't going to have them, it would just increase over all security and it wouldn't take away any of your privacy, unless you are very weird about people knowing that you too visit the bathroom at times.

Unless you are up to something illegal public cameras shouldn't be an issue in the West where we still have rights to do normal stuff
