So true with me also.
In my case, (Federal LEO) telling a lie to me was a felony. Even after telling the subject of the possible felony charge for telling a lie, many opened their mouths and spoke no truth. Cameras often showed the facts, to which some folks denied their actions even after viewing the videos.
Unedited version of a video shows the actions up to, during, and after the incident. In my career, probably 70% of my inaction with the public was video taped. What was not taped, was in areas where there were no cameras. Being on camera was just part of the job and a tool that was often used to prove the facts of an interaction between parties.
Cameras were just part of life, so with that in mind, being on one's best behavior was the norm because arm chair quarterbacks could dissect video by the micro second and analyze any situation to determine 'what really happened'.
