This is rather silly isn't it ? I hardly think you can enforce good culture with negative operant conditioning.

Why is it that Microsoft's silly ranking system is much criticized, while this is one is being applauded ?

Emmmm... negative operant conditioning? There's no stimulus that's being removed depending on officer's behavior. In fact, I wouldn't call it operant conditioning at all - there's no new punishment or reward here, just increased certainty that both officers' and suspects' actions will be known and provable to third parties.
