On the "bright side", abuse of authority (extending far beyond police violence) occurs every day in every country I've visited... and at least in the USA citizens are not afraid to film it and protest wherever and whenever it occurs.
The trend in totalitarian governments is to put the right to film solely in the hands of the Party. Cameras, and facial recognition, is everywhere... but you don't see people in Communist China filming police brutality, or abuse of muslim minorities.
