Good. Body cameras should (should) keep good cops from bad folks and keep good citizens safe from bad cops.
Or at least provide evidence of both sides’ activities.

Oh, I’ve already seen how ‘well’ govt handles records.
How fast is the firing/prosecuting of those that ‘lose’, delete or...when it comes to ‘one of their own’??
Though I cannot provide the actual clips, I have read of cases were cops were fired from their jobs because of a questionable event and they’re *not* having their body cams on at the point in question.
Also, there has been at least one conviction of a cop that did not chose to have his body cam on and someone was busted up badly.
What’s just as good are the times cops have been able to put out footage to correct when someone has lied about their behavior.
It’s all about a timeline. Nothing changes overnight.
Body cams are a good start.
