/v/Showerthoughts is a subverse for you to share all those thoughts, ideas, or philosophical questions that race through your head while in the shower.
"Showerthought" is a loose term that applies to any thought you might have while carrying out a routine task like showering, driving, or daydreaming.
Please be respectful of others' submissions. If you disagree, explain why in the comments. Downvoats are reserved for submissions you don't like or comments that do not add to the discussion, not opinions with which you disagree.
RULES
-
Please refrain from shower "observations;" we've heard them all before
-
Ideas for Voat features should be posted in /v/ideasforvoat, even if you think of them while in the shower
The spirit of this subverse's rules is to foster a community where dissent, free thought, and open discussion are tolerated, limited only to trolling, excessive abuse, site-breaking rules, or content that is better suited for another subverse.

Camera system in place largely to prevent crime and protect his employees and workplace property. They are not recording to be uploaded to social media so that some youtuber can twist words and try their hardest to make the cop sound wrong and incompetent. Imagine your job was being recorded so that millions of people could watch you do it and evaluate how qualified you are to do your job.
These are people with jobs that already put themselves out in harms way. I think this is awful treatment of them. Make them wear a body cam, if it works. stop recording them to shame them over the Internet

Assholes get shamed on the internet all the time. If a cop isn't being an asshole, then the video probably isn't worth it to upload. Maybe asshole cops would be more likely to treat people with respect if they knew they'd get called out for it rather than just humiliating people into silence.
If that was the case, then I'd probably learn how not to be an asshole to people in my line of work. Something my employer expects I do anyways.

its so easy to just claim that you'd "probably learn how not to be an asshole to people in my line of work" when countless times the people recording cops are snarky and rude, looking to catch them at fault. and ive seen countless videos of people uploading vids of cops being polite and cordial, putting up with the "AM I BEING DETAINED"x300 garbage. like i said, put a body cam on them if youre concerned with how they act. otherwise, stop adding stress to their thankless jobs
