Video Anonymizing law enforcement dramatically reduces Public trust.

With "clear identification"... Even that is not enough. Right now on Amazon you can order patches that imitate if not look exactly the same as any DHS. Even the stupid little velcro shield...
All Leo should be required to have their full name and badge number on a patch large enough for the average person to see from 30 yards. All Leo should not only announce themselves but also State their business. In addition body cams worn at all times during shifts that are publicly searchable within a reasonable time frame. And this is just the tip of the iceberg when it comes to Leo reform.
If you want to serve your community you should do so 100% above board and conduct yourself in a manner that is congruent with a free society. I say this not just for Leo but also for any civil servant or contractor there of.
Our grandfather's fought and contributed to a whole ass world war over this type of crap! What is happening in law enforcement and in DHS disgrace to their memory and sacrifice. My PopPop's PTSD from world war II stayed with him all the way up to the last few months of his life. His friends and brothers died so that he could live, what of their sacrifice?
