I understand your point. After the uproar from cities mailing home speeding tickets containing photos of the offender and his girlfriend, I don't think the world wants videos of them and their acquaintances made public. If you got stopped for speeding with your girlfriend, would you want that on TV? The problem becomes defining what gets shown and not shown. Average redneck drunk getting stopped isn't news. Local republican running against democrat police chief getting stopped for driving drunk would be. I think the video could have been handled more properly than being a shock piece for ratings. Did the tape go thru proper channels first? Or was it to get ratings and start another LA riot? Same with with the NSA/Security stuff. The dems think they have an election issue so they aired all the details in the press. Other issues have been handled properly, I think you have to give the system a chance to work first. You can have a riot of your efforts fail. I think the media camped outside someone's house waiting on them to jump in the swimming pool should be illegal. I can argue for your side too, but I'll stick with mine for now. You're king for a day. How would you rewrite the eavesdropping law?
