Police say they are being misrepresented by filming of arrests by members of the public, with some voices calling for restrictions on video content being made public.
“If police actions are so blatantly distorted every time, a ban on videos during police operations can no longer be taboo,” Harald Zsedényi, vice-president of the Basel city police force told the NZZ am Sonntag newspaper on Sunday.
Less transparency was never the answer and never will be. If you’re afraid being misrepresented, make your own footage and show them.
