So mass surveillance is perfectly fine, because it helps detect crime. Even if it doesn't detect a single crime over the course of 20 years.

But surveillance for police officers is bad, even if it immediately detects crime?

So the cops are fine with surveiling the populace, but when somebody does it to them they're suddenly all butthurt? What a surprise.

Sometimes the trash just takes itself out

Why are the police upset? Do they have something to hide?

On one hand, having your boss micromanage the hell out of you and kind of stalk you is insane.

On the other hand, that's what cops do daily to everyone with ALPR's. I'm not sure where to put my rage on this one lol. How's it feel to be treated the way you treat others?

Oh, do cops not like being surveiled and held accountable? That's crazy yo.

Perfect opportunity to clean house.

Restructure and rehire. When one door shuts...

Doesn't have to be about oppression anymore. Today's police force is a relic of the lynch mob era. The mob became the police.

Problem took care of itself.

The watchers don't like being watched. The irony.

Tracking state property should be the norm, actually?

Cops love warrantless search until someone has the audacity to use it against them.

Uh oh somebody is upset they can't commit fraud and steal taxpayer dollars anymore.

What did the police do wrong that caused them to resign?

TLDR: The cops appear to have been fudging their time sheets to get money for nothing from the city and taxpayers.

But I can appreciate the amount of oversight this mayor unilaterally decided to enforce on behalf of constituents. Kinda sucks that we can't get this kind of institutional oversight except on a super-local scale.

Police should have GPS tracking on work vehicles. It is the same as body cameras, it can exonerate them as well as price wrongdoing.

Abolish the police with one easy step!

So the entire force was committing fraud, is what I’m hearing from those resignations. Charge the mfers instead of letting them just fuck off one county over.

One of the best things that New York City did while I was living there was to get rid of qualified immunity for police officers. Those who enforce the law should be the last people who should ever be considered to be ABOVE the law.

Simply resigning from one’s position should never absolve one from a crime nor be means from escape from investigation into/prosecution for one’s commission of/participation in a crime/crimes. And for police officers, specifically, when resigning from one police department, it should preclude the ability to ever join another.

Those who are entrusted to enforce the law should be held to a higher standard, not a lower one. This is one of the greatest civil failures of American society that must be corrected as soon as possible.

There is definitely more to this story

Cops hate accountability.
