They routinely use dashcam, bodycam, and jail cam videos as part of their weekly feeds.

It nets them hundreds of thousands a year in profit . All they have to invest is editing.

And they humiliate arrestees in the process. We treat prisoners under the geneva convention better than that.

We need privacy legislation that prohibits publishing this footage for profit. Fair use is fine, no more than 30 seconds in total. That is enough for legitimate news purposes. But 30 minutes of the worst night in someones life for a quick buck is just being a papparazi.
