Officers for Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) will be equipped with much-delayed body cameras by the end of next month, it was reported on Friday. But experts have questioned the transparency of a policy that allows the ICE director to restrict the public release of footage unless “it is in the best interests of the agency”.
Logically, I don’t think so. They said basically that if something’s released, it’s in their best interests. So, Released(x) --> BestInterestsOfICE(x).
You can’t derive !Released(x) --> !BestInterestsOfICE(x) from that statement.
Yes you can actually. You’d be correct if they were supposed to release everything, like a daily upload to public channels of every single bodycam in the organization, but that is not and never has been a thing.
You can derive that under the conditions that exist every time releasing footage becomes a consideration. Yes that is not how general logic works but general logic is not universally applicable.
