You clearly never seen police dashcam videos in the US. Besides the corruption and stops for "hunt missions", a lot of times it's simply because you shattered their ego, even with a simple laugh: https://youtube.com/watch?v=NqJdt9_1XSw

Dashcam videos show cops abusing power and being on a power trip in various ways, some mildly annoying and some outrageous.

This is also why mobile phone camera tech led to BLM as more and more people became aware of how police act when they think nobody is watching.

Mobile tech didn’t lead to Black Lives Matter. What even are you saying? People were recording the police way back during the Fergusson Mo protests.

I think you are being sarcastic, but in case you weren't, in 2014 60% of adults in the US owned a smartphone, so my point stands. Videos of police misconduct were already widespread before that. Someone took video of the killing of Eric Garner, etc.
