When it comes to raising revenue, harassment, and falsifying/planting evidence, its blacks and other minorities (blacks, poor people, hispanics, people with certain cars or who dress a certain way) who suffer the most. Statistics show the number of stops on people of color and other traits depending on area, are extremely disproportionate to the current majority (whites, upper middle class whites particularly).
Why should they be allowed to do this and is this the intended purpose of a government Police force to begin with?
Private Police forces can be maintained with much more transparency and due process.
We currently have the highest incarceration rate (per capita and raw numbers) in the world.
We should go back to 1930's America so that everybody remembers why we create certain laws, and why we allow certain things to sort themselves out.
Americans are being beaten, killed, and locked up unjustly at the hands of corrupt Police officers and your giving them more and more reasons to increase their profits.
goes back to having independent investigators visiting these police academies and finding out what kind education they are giving our police officers. Also need to start looking at their hiring practices, what kind of folks are being allowed to hold badges and making infractions/abuses of police officers public knowledge to the general public.
Making it easier for folks to start video recording their encounters with officers. Right now, people are being forced to shut down their phones, when it actually they should be encouraged the keep them running.

Homicide is terrible. Currently many black neighborhoods have the highest rates of violence. So much so that violence in THESE neighborhoods skew the rate of the entire country to the point that we have the highest rates in the developed world.

I think you brought up very good points. More laws need to be on the books to protect citizens from law breaking Police officers. There's reasons why certain laws are on the books and if Police brazingly break them because they don't fear punishment for their actions.
I never thought about the recording laws but you bring up a great point.
