When cell phones with video cameras were invented and available to the masses. No way could I have made it on patrol, knowing I was likely being filmed at any moment.
The first phone I saw on a radio run, I didn't even know what it was. It was bigger than a brick. I thought the guy was from the CIA or something.
Imagine a cop on park foot-post in the summer, saying to another cop,"I'm going to go get some beer". He then takes off his shirt and gun-belt, hands it to the other cop. He is bare from the waist up. Walks over to a deli, buys a case of beer and brings it back to the park.
A completely hypothetical situation, of course, but you wouldn't want it on video.
