To prevent corruption while in office, every politician must be on camera 24/7 and broadcast live to a publicly accessible platform. No exceptions.

The Fourth Amendment would like a word.
ElDirque@reddit
That is going to only attract exhibitionists.
AtatS-aPutut@reddit
make all their and their family's finances public for their whole lives so we can see where every cent comes from and goes
evilbrent@reddit
And make them live an AVERAGE life.
They have to move to an average house in an average suburb and get an average mortgage with an average income.
And then we'd see some changes
KinceZ@reddit
Yeah, and who’s gonna risk being a politician for an average life. I agree with more transparency, but this is just ridiculous.
koolmagicguy@reddit
People who actually want to make a positive difference in the world?
finalattack123@reddit
You’re not really thinking about the consequences of this rule.
Nobody with 2 brain cells would want to become a politician.

Fits the sub.
Imagine the completely AWFUL politicians you’d get that would agree to such a terrible idea. It would be people who failed to get a job at McDonald’s and the homeless

Cameras in the bathrooms. I for one wouldn't want to watch some 80 year old taking a dump.

As the Robin Williams joke goes they should have to wear jackets with logos of all their sponsors like NASCAR drivers do.

Wouldn't help in counties where bribes are legal.
flamingspew@reddit
How about all politicians kids have to go to public school.
StarChild413@reddit
in addition to the obvious problems of e.g. do we really need to watch every time a politician has sex with his wife just in case we catch him cheating on her with some opposition-hired sex worker, where would the cameras be and someone needs to be watching 24/7 footage 24/7 to check for corruption
Separate_Draft4887@reddit
It’s a big world. Somebody will be tuned in at all times. Only one person that needs to see something to raise the alarm.
StarChild413@reddit
but not every non-politician is a good person so there's a non-zero chance someone could see something and not raise the alarm because they don't think it's a big deal
Separate_Draft4887@reddit
When I say someone, I mean it’s more than likely there will be thousands or tens of thousands.
Alert_Camel_5594@reddit
What about their private life? You can't just invade their privacy for helping the nation.
Separate_Draft4887@reddit
This has huge national security problems.

Nice

Bathroom time is a very dangerous time.
Cloudycloud47x2@reddit
What about bathroom time? Every politcal meeting will happen in the john.
They will start conducting Johnny Politicing.
thetreeclimber@reddit (OP)
That’s the crazy part. No exceptions.
NikonShooter_PJS@reddit
Ain’t no one trying to see Ted Cruz shit.
We all KNOW that’s a vicious event and he can’t fully reach the underfolds.
Cloudycloud47x2@reddit
OK, well now you've created a whole new genre of Internet Porn / Voyeurism.
PoliFans ?
ParticularSea2684@reddit
No. Exceptions.
Grant_Winner_Extra@reddit
Great. Now the only politicians are influencers with a voyeurism fetish. Thanks
Ratermelon@reddit
I certainly agree that politicians don't deserve as much privacy as their voters.
Tall_0rder@reddit
Most boring season of Big Brother ever 😂🤣😂
Super-Reporter-4528@reddit
We all know that you just want to see politicians privates.
althawk8357@reddit
Do all corruption in the bathroom or having sex. No one will want to watch and you can get away with everything.
Shot_in_the_dark777@reddit
stares right into the camera while taking a shit Also stares right into the camera while taking a bribe because he can call it fake video made with AI. We literally have ads for an app that will make a short video of a person shoplifting! Just for a prank!
randomentity12@reddit
Also just for politicians the punishment for any crime they are convicted of is a lot more severe,with a firing squad for the stuff like corruption or criminal negligence or any serious crime: Make officially agreeing to the terms a condition of taking office, if you don't want it, then thats fine, but you are not getting the position. Make rules ever more strict and restrictive until you start experiencing shortages of those wanting to become politicians, then adjust the tidious, restrictive and severe rules until you have just enough candidates.
donuttrackme@reddit
NO EXCEPTIONS!
TheGruenTransfer@reddit
This would only increase the amount of out of touch weirdos becoming politicians
patiofurnature@reddit
Yeah, we already know what the reality tv star -> politician pipeline looks like. We don't need to forcibly merge those two.
Quirky-Reputation-89@reddit
Reality TV is heavily edited to make the actors look good. This would be the exact opposite.
Empty-Quarter2721@reddit
But the benefit is there is nothing you can shame them for. If they are poor politicans they get voted out if not its ok if they have a weird kink or whatever as long as harmless for others.

So that their corporate donors know that they are staying bought?
SentenceAwkward5302@reddit
👍
Attention-14@reddit
Yep, and we'd all have to get over all our hangup about bodies.
I even dreamed of creating an online nudist community like this, once.
slovbell@reddit
Just lock them in cells at the start of their terms and don’t let them out
Pit-Viper-13@reddit
Bill Clinton’s feed would have been wild 🤣

I would have loved to watch every second of Bill Clinton in office.
