Amateur Videos and Police Brutality; Campaign Reform

Hosted by Warren Olney Nov. 15, 2006
LA’s Ethics Commission has passed a new version
of campaign finance reform.    But one
commissioner says it’s being “loved to death” by people who say they share the
same goals.    We’ll hear both sides.    Plus, the LAPD is investigating two
videotapes for possible violations of excessive-force policy. Have
well-intentioned reforms made it harder to enforce the law? Are the cops just
failing to get the message?
