What would you do if someone filmed you at work and then started asking questions about why you do what you do at every move and suggesting you are not doing it correctly?  

To the bold, my profession may be a bad example of that, as it already happens constantly. At least once a day I get a letter, email, Facebook message or just stopped walking down the street asking why I've written something I did, or why I wrote it "wrong" or why I didn't include something. I'm not complaining, that's balanced by just as many liking the same thing.

I think most people that work with or for the public open themselves up to that to a degree.

Politicians do, county/city road construction crews do; media does, retail store employees do, food services. Public interaction and interpretation is part of a majority of jobs out there. But there's been a growing line when it comes to police where some don't want that, where it's not ok to question what they do or why they've done it.

To the first part, maybe that's part of the problem. I don't think things change suddenly. In this case, introducing cameras and recording devices didn't change what some cops were doing, it only made it public.
