So who should have access to the recordings? And who should be able to publish them? If the first to report gets to make the truth, shouldn't that imply the cops should publish everything preemptively?
That is a good point. But that brings a bunch of its own problems.
E. g. your significant other sees you somewhere you should have not been.
I honestly don't have the answer. Hopefully, the police can keep them stashed for when they're needed.
I'd like to get the media outlets and public more educated. To get the story confirmed or denied (by the police).
Maybe a few "police cameras (again) prove wrong accusations" with wide coverage would go a long way to discourage fabricated stories.
Now about the access and publishing. That one is the hardest to get right considering presumption of innocence and privacy.
The only idea for now "here is the recording, faces blurred. If it's not enough, we'll gladly see you in court. What? No court? We didn't think so either." Hopefully I can come up with a better one.
