    Only problem is when dealing with things like, what happens when a cop demands to bury all videos of his police brutality scandal etc… Bottom line 90% of time when the pressure hits enough, the words don’t do it justice. Especially when the cops release the report using past exonorative tense etc… to describe things in way that downplay and obfuscate what happened.

      Public figures (oversimplification) already forgo copyright on their name and image, that’s why you can buy things like halloween costumes of trump & fat vance. You could also include language to prevent extending copyright protections in cases of things like “recording criminal activity” (i.e. security cameras or similar) in the context of reporting that activity.
