I think such cameras are,in theory,a good idea.If used "correctly" they have the ability to protect the cops *and* the public...and suspects as well.But in a thoroughly corrupt like Massachusetts you can bet your bottom dollar that when such a video might reveal police misconduct/error there'd always seem to have been a camera malfunction during that incident.And to the best of my knowledge police in this state don't use dashboard cameras...although I'm not sure of that.
“This is why cameras in police cars are a good thing, they help show an officer’s side of the story.

You say the officer pulled you out of your car and beat you becasue you had a “Don’t tread on me” bumper sticker, and the officer was yelling about it while they were beating you up. That’s too bad.... The tape recorder in the car was busted that day, so sorry, Now for this charge of resisting arrest during that same arrest on the officer’s word, GUILTY, enjoy the book about to be thrown at you.
Of course if you cannot tape the police, I’ll bet any version of the “brownshirts” that may materialize int he future will get the same “privlidge”.
