It is no doubt, with the advancement of technology and the introduction of "convenient"
recording devices, citizens have made it a point to freely record any incident they choose
to. With the explosion of social media, these videos are seen by millions of individuals. The
actions of police officers have been an area under much scrutiny, especially as a result of
video recordings. In the article, "For Cops, Citizen Videos Bring Increased Scrutiny…
Kevin Johnson writes, "The videos are so ubiquitous that analysts and police debate
whether they are serving the public interest_
or undermining public trust in law
enforcement and even putting officers’ lives in jeopardy."
Write an essay in which you either defend or oppose the posting of video recordings of
police officers (by the general public). This does not include recordings made by police
officers themselves.
This is a cause and effect essay, the cause being the actual posting of the videos and the
effects being the consequences based on the side you are supporting. If you have
"Strategies for Successful Writing," see chapter 6.
