Most cops don&#x27;t sign up to do what they end up doing. Having been on a few ride-alongs, and knowing a few cops personally, my impression is that the job is much more paperwork than it is actively saving the community from the bad guys. I&#x27;m not belittling the importance of paperwork, mind you, it&#x27;s just that cop work, just like every other kind of work, is not like TV.<p>These reforms don&#x27;t happen overnight. The city council, the police chief, the mayor, the police union, the prosecutor&#x27;s office, the governor -- they&#x27;ve debated and discussed dashcams for a long period of time, because it&#x27;s not just about policy, but also effectively implementing it, with all the speed that most government contractor work happens at. These reforms didn&#x27;t happen at a speed at which even the old cops were blindsided at. They had plenty of time to consider a new career without resorting to criminal obstruction of justice out of petulance.
