[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]They should reimpose the jump-out squads, but with tougher penalties for civil rights violation and automatic unpaid suspensions if body cameras are not activated.[/quote] You're getting at the real problem with tough-on-crime policies. Doing law enforcement right -- i.e., actually doing what the Constitution requires -- is incredibly expensive, from the cost of properly staffing and training police departments, prosecutor's offices and public defenders, to the courts and the prisons. And it turns out that our society just isn't willing to pay that price. So there's two approaches instead. One is to half-ass it, where you cut corners on training and protection of rights. What ends up happening is a lot of innocent people get caught up too. The other is to focus only on the most serious crimes and let everything else slide. [/quote]
