Hooray for Transparency! I don't actually hate the police, but I recognize (uncomfortably) the potential for abuse in their organization. At least some of the police officers I know are decent fellows, but some of them are just unreconstructed assholes. In that regard, they're just like the rest of us: some of us are decent, and some of us suck. This decision, however, helps to insure that the worst opportunities for organizational abuse are limited, and that's a damned good thing.
