I don't think these events are going to directly lead to any law changes. The only thing that threatens our privacy in the U.S. right now is CISPA, and that has been in the works for a long time now. It already passed the house, so we need to make sure we bombard our senators and get them to vote it down.

It probably won't *formally* affect our constitutional rights (in terms of law changes), but that doesn't mean it won't result in government generally caring less about those rights. So the effect of this is still a valid concern.

That said, I can't see how dashcam footage would possibly impact that debate. Footage of some of the house searches, that's absolutely important. But I don't think anyone is particularly challenging police conduct during the shootout, and that's really what dashcams are for.

The only people questing the FBI's or police's intent here are the families of the suspects who don't even live in this country, and the wife of the dead suspect. I can't really take anything she says or does seriously at this point. She refused to talk to police when confronted, and was someone who still married that psycho even after he viciously beat her prior to the marriage itself. Not a good moral character at the least.
