The police hate cameras. If you point one at them in a fraught moment in this country they are quite likely to chase you about, shine powerful lights into the lens and so on.
In other countries it can be much, much, much worse. You can die.
It may be because so much police work under stressful circumstances is of questionable legality. Not to mention expedient justice with regular clients which is best administered up dark alleys.
'When constabulary duty's to be done, to be done,
The policeman's lot is not a happy one... '
