The spin on the other side would be just as intuitive: &quot;Our police officers are more concerned with getting away with abuse of power than following the law they&#x27;re supposed to enforce, and as a result, tens (to hundreds) of millions in taxpayer money is being spent on lawsuit payouts, essentially a bailout for bad behavior.&quot;<p>While I agree that cameras should be required and intentional tampering a crime, I think behaviors would change much more quickly if laws were put in place to dock pensions and pay across the board to compensate for lawsuits of wrongful death and the like. Suddenly the &quot;blue wall of silence&quot; would become a very vocal supporter of police reform to identify and get rid of bad apples that threaten everybody&#x27;s pension.  Incentives are very powerful tools for changing behavior, much more powerful than blanket force by bodycam laws.
