Dancing Around the Subject

More and more places are requiring police to wear body cameras. In all reality, this is because of the increased awareness of police brutality and other violations of citizens' rights.
Although these steps are to be applauded, they are not the answer. The real answer is to reset the system such that no person, regardless of badge or other "standing," should have more rights or authority than another.

This is, to me, dancing around the subject matter at hand. People with too much authority abuse said authority. Then we put more laws into effect to try to curb abuses. The real solution is fewer laws and the concept that all men are created equal.
