Also, the one about the cyclist who was body checked, if there wasn't video evidence, the 22 year old cop would have gotten off the hook, despite blatantly lying. When it comes to hearsay, the word of an officer of the law has much more weight.

Do you think I am being too anal about considering this course of action? I don't want to seem psychotic about protecting myself legally, but the lying that people resort to, and the driving of some motorists does steer me in this direction.
