Police and Accountability
For years police have had the ability to make up anything they want in describing an encounter with the public, and make it stick. Video has become the public's best accountability tool. Of course this had to be in Maryland, where police argue that taking video of them is illegal. It should be illegal not to.

I really don't want some "concerned citizen" prick to upload a video to YouTube of me getting busted with a hooker, even if the cop kicks me.
