The only time they should be allowed to turn off the body cam is when they go to the bathroom and at the end of their shift when they're taking off their gear. Even then there should be some sort of system that would turn the camera back on automatically after their bathroom break so they can't claim they forgot to turn it back on after. It could be something that would involve turning it off being on some sort of timer where they would have to reset it ever 10 minutes or so or it would turn back on. It could also involve some sort of gps system that once they leave the area where they turned the camera off it automatically turns back on.

[@MsAnnastaziah]

Legalization increases demand which increases forced prostitution in the area. Since no sane woman would prostitute herself.

[@AllWIllFall2Me]

​@@MsAnnastaziah This is...very wrong, with one semi-correct portion in it: Legalization doesn't technically increase demand, it reduces a barrier that demand must overcome to be acted on. The number of people seeking sex work would increase, but those people WANTED sex work before legalization. This wouldn't necessarily increase forced prostitution, since legalized prostitution would likely see a surge in supply as well. The majority of interviewed sex workers do not object to the WORK of prostitution. Why would they? Plenty of sane women do porn, and porn is just filmed prostitution. They object to their mistreatment by financial institutions, law enforcement, predatory employers, and customers when they lack the tools to enforce standards and compliance. Think about it: There are plenty of prostitutes who charge more per hour/session than a minimum wage worker makes in 2 whole days of full-time labor. You think someone wouldn't trade a full-time job with overtime for having sex three times a week? Do you think everyone hates sex that much? Meanwhile, if there was an ATTEMPT to increase forced prostitution...legalized industries have oversight. Suspected bad actors can be reported, records are made and can be checked. (This is actually one of the big debates about legalizing vs decriminalizing: concerns that increased bureaucracy and government involvement might end up being burdensome on many sex worker/some sex workers not wanting it to be legalized because...well, because they haven't been paying taxes on the $43k a year they make from it, and they've been safe, so they don't want to lose $5,100 a year in taxed income.)

@M Muss Yes it makes absolute sense. Making it illegal and pushing it into the margins is PRECISELY what makes it dangerous - because sex workers can't safely report violence committed against them. This empowers people to take andvantage of sex workers, whether by clients, pimps or traffickers, because they know sex workers likely can't do a damn thing about it. Another thing to keep in mind that abuses occur in many other industries - yet somehow in those cases we understand that you have to create ways for workers to report abuse and then address those specific abuses, not trying to outlaw an entire field of work. I really-really recommend you watch this TED talk by Juno Mac, who is a sex worker, and watch it to the end.

1. Qualified immunity has nothing to do with criminal charges against an officer. It does not prevent an officer from being charged with a crime and has no bearing on a "guilty" or "not guilty" verdict. 2. Qualified immunity does not prevent a person from suing an officer/agency/city. To apply QI, a presentation of facts and argument in front of a judge are required. The immunity is QUALIFIED - not absolute. 3. Ending qualified immunity and/or requiring police to carry liability insurance will not save the taxpayers money - officers are indemnified by their employers around 99% of the time and cities face their own lawsuit whether or not they indemnify officers. 4. Doctors carry insurance instead of immunity. The need to pay doctors exorbitant salaries to offset their insurance costs contributes to the ever-increasing healthcare costs in the US. There's no reason to believe it would not also lead to increases in costs of policing. 5. Forcing police to pay claims out of their retirement is illegal and unconstitutional in the United States. All sanctions and punishments in both a civil and criminal context require individualism, which means that you cannot punish a group of people without making a determination that every person in that group is directly responsible for the tort(s) in the claim. Procedurally, trying to seize pension funds would make it necessary for every member of the pension fund to sign off on any settlement, and to object to any settlement or verdict. Additionally, even if it were not illegal and unconstitutional, it may easily lead to MORE cover-ups rather than the internal ousting of bad actors. This would give police financial incentive to hide wrongdoing, whereas they currently have none. Qualified immunity is a defense to a civil claim in federal court that shields government employees from liability as long as they did not violate a clearly established law or violate a persons rights. QI does not prevent a lawsuit from being filed. It is an affirmative defense that, if applied, will shield a person from the burdens of a trial. A plaintiff can file a lawsuit and the merits of it will be argued in front of a judge. If the plaintiffs can show a person’s rights were violated or the officer violated a law, then the suit will be allowed to proceed to trial if it is not resolved through mediation. During this time the judge can order both parties to a series of mediation efforts in attempts to settle the suit. Also during this time, both parties have a right to “discovery” meaning the plaintiffs and defendants can request whatever evidence exists as well as interview each other’s witnesses - called depositions. All these actions are before the plaintiffs can request summary judgement. Only after mediation efforts have failed and discovery has closed can the plaintiffs ask a judge to find QI applies and dismiss the lawsuit. If the actions of the officer are clearly legal, qualified immunity can be applied at the summary judgment phase of the case.

[@thesquishedelf1301]

"If the plaintiffs can show a person’s rights were violated or the officer violated a law, then the suit will be allowed to proceed to trial if it is not resolved through mediation" but that's the problem. For whatever reason, most likely widespread corruption (especially conflicts of interest,) judges prevent the suit from proceeding when rights were clearly violated. I find it odd that both cases in the video are referred to as genuine challenges to the current state of QI. The first seems a rather cut-and-dry case of excessive force, surprising that the supreme court A) even bothered and B) overturned the lower court's decision. The second seems a cut-and-dry instance of QI being necessary, the lawsuit is clearly frivolous - one does not raise a hammer over their head when confronted with police, it's an obvious threat. Again, surprised it made it to the supreme court.

Even in Nevada this is a clear problem because due to supply and demand issues the cost is very high putting it out of reach for many people traveling specifically for it. On top of that most people engaged in sex work started when they were under age for a reason. Making prostitution legal makes sexploitation viewed as less of an issue due to normalization.

A cult of personality, a death cult, and a regular cult mindset. Non-believers are shunned/kicked out, just look at Liz Cheney. She lost a powerful seat in our government as well as kicked out of the party for simply acknowledging Biden won. Many people were told by pundits and other members to disassociate from any "non-believers" who were opposed to Trump.

In regards to sex workers the government just needs to send inspectors to the brothels on a random basis and require the workers to follow the Inspector to a nearby location without the brothel owners to discuss whether they are sex slaves or not, if they are then the inspector will have the authority to arrest the owners and request backup to raid the place.

Absolutely, and that needs to be dealt with, but with proper rules set in place, testing, vetting of people, the overall removal of the stigma around sex can go along way. Probably alot of other things I can't think of but people in the business who have. To write it all off as bad is the same as making abortions illegal.

Making sex work illegal is what makes it inherently dangerous. It's a chicken or the egg question, but the fact is that when you make prostitution illegal, people end up going through illegal and dangerous channels (i.e. pimps) in order to "ply their wares." Look at Nevada, they legalized prostitution and put legislation in place to make it safer for all parties involved, and you see crime rates drop, (even drug crime rates) STD rates drop, etc. Just quit shaming people for what they want to do with their own body. If I could (safely) make 6 figures a year by having erotic (or emotional "boyfriend experience" type stuff) interactions with people, I would do it in a heartbeat.
