now they can be carried at option rather than at mandate, thus self serving functions for cams now on the table.

Cool, so since government accountability is now optional, I suspect we’ll get a few camps. At the very least, these two: honest officers who relish constant supervision and scrutiny, dishonest officers who relish violence and brutality above all else.

How would your honest officer group operate alongside the other group, hypothetically? It seems like the kind of thing that group 2 would stamp out pretty quickly and group 1 wouldn't be able to stop.

Aren't a lot of these bodycams provided for free, and in exchange you have to use their cloud to store all the footage until the end of time?
