A crime carries a range of a sentence, multiply that crime by several instances and you get XX years.
This guy will not get 75 years. Hopefully he will find a good lawyer and not get any years. Then hopefully after that a few your lawyers will go after the constitutionality of the law, nationwide, and have it stricken or changed.
Some people say that police are just humans and make mistakes. I disagree. If you are given the responsibility and power to enforce the law, you are no longer a common citizen. Your behavior should be BETTER than the laws you enforce.

true, but you said it yourself, why enforce it? Imho, police don't want cameras because they don't want to get busted for doing something shady. Of course, not all law enforcement, but there are a good amount of "bad apples" out there, you would have to agree. The fact that we are having a conversation on this travesty, in 2011, is just one of many signs that this country is heading in the wrong direction imho.
