I think public release of footage is a balance of privacy and transparency. That's why I like the FOIA model. If a cop conducts a warrant search in someone's home, should everyone have the right to see every last nook and cranny of that home? At the same time, if the homeowner notices something is amiss like stolen or damaged property not accounted for then don't they have the right to inquire about this? Some things need to be withheld not to protect the police but the privacy of citizens.
