We need it. The Union Leader has a compelling op-ed on it, explaining how the wire tapping law has been wrested to protect police from public scrutiny. It's time to open the doors, sunlight being the best disinfectant as Justice Brandeis said.
You can see how with commonly-available technology the law that one can't audio record just doesn't work, unless cops get heavy handed about it. View it here for a few seconds (don't waste your time with the rest), then go to this next video to see how it worked when Dave Ridley backed away from the Concord cop who told him to shut down his audio equipment. Luckily, the LEO was a cut or two above the norm.
In the recent past, HB 312 was on tap for a vote. It's necessary to empower citizens. I would like to think those who have guns on their sides are thinking that cameras are on their backs. That way suspicious shootings might be avoided, like that West Point graduate being blown away for reasons still being determined.
