Well, as Fiel's pointed out, the public videos wouldn't be a completely perfect solution; however, I do think having public videos would actually support the idea of "Innocent until proven guilty." In the current US legal system, the accused have the write to know what they're being accused of and why they are believed to be guilty by the police. Then, in court, the accused are given an unbiased jury that has the evidence presented to them (made public, if you will), and then the jury determines guilt if the evidence is good enough.
Currently the system is more like "Guilty until proven innocent," but the videos would provide something resembling proof. Without something like public video evidence, the current system just comes across like a corrupt legal system (not saying it is, but it looks that way). The accused aren't sure what got them into trouble, the evidence is not known, and the accusers are right because they say that there was in fact evidence, but it can't be shown to anyone.
I do like that Nexon seems to be trying to get on top of their hacking problem, but the massive number of people who appear to be innocent while still getting banned has become unsettling. Yes, privacy is nice, but not at the cost of being unable to trust the people who are supposed to be making the game free of hackers.
