Bottom line - the Police work for US, they answer to US - we don't answer to them. If they are operating within the realms of the law, within the professional realm in which they are trained - any filming of them will only go to re-inforce their actions.

O my, i didn't want to give you the impression that I think the cops should get away with this. However, the power to film is the power to distort, as a look at tonight's newscast will demonstrate. I merely think that the cops ought to do a better job of filming themselves, so that reasonable people can compare and contrast the many versions any street encounter is sure to engender.

any filming of them: Disagree.

The right of the people to film THEIR cops at work is paramount, if they stay out of the way ... however, I would prefer the whole story . Give me civilian film AND cop film.
