You tell us of your plan to videotape everyone. However, your sarcasm falls short since it's a great idea to videotape your surgeon or your car mechanic. The problem with one's legal rights is that one has to have evidence to prove one's point in court. Unless you walk around with a video camera or have others videotape the event in question by accident, usually we have a hard time coming up with evidence in court, esp. against the word of a cop or 2. Therefore it must be made standard acceptable even welcomed practice of video logging any important encounter that could need acceptable evidence for the court room in case of need later. Unfortunately it is not the teacher or the hairdresser that will (usually) require taping, instead it is the surgeon, car salesman, and police. Anyone in a public space gets video taped anyway, and one's privacy does not extend to being shielded from photos and video once you leave the privacy of your own home. Police cars now routinely have cameras mounted on their dashboard to document police interference already. If you are an honest cop you shouldn't have a problem with being video taped anway. Proud perhaps, but not nervous.
