alt Hacker NewsPolice unions would love for cameras to standardize on that.
There was an article on HN that one city's police force, when there were protests going on, took to playing Disney songs from loudspeakers; so that any recording of their interactions would be impossible to publish on any significant internet platform (or at least, the audio would be muted, by IP protection filters).

Wouldn't that be covered by fair use?
Nobody who loves Disney songs would listen to them while also hearing police officers shouting, etc.

That’s an admission of guilt by the police, right there. If you have nothing to hide… etc.

Wouldn't that constitute a public performance of copyrighted material? The police themselves could be DMCAed. Haha

Did the police have the appropriate license to play those disney songs in a public space?
