This is why most agencies have a training division, to work these ideas out. Can these devices stream back to a police server, so they don’t have to rely on the devices onboard memory? Can the devices be remotely managed by watch commanders or other administrators? The questions aren’t just about how the cops use the device. It has a lot to do with the devices inherent capabilities as well.

Put the body cameras on all criminals (that includes all politicians). Have a Merry Christmas!
one of the local cities around where I live (upstate NY) was looking at a grant to get cameras for the police. They looked at the logistics of it from a data storage point of view. Video takes up a lot of storage space, you can use compression, but for 1 cop during a day he may very well have several Giga Bytes of audio and video. Multiply times the number of police on duty per day. Then decide how long do you keep the video, 30 days, 120 days etc. Additional hardware is needed as well as manpower.
I’d say we need to watch the little pricks but I’m afraid they’d stick the cameras down their pants.
Don’t attack and arrest civilians who are using their cams to record police incidents.
Well, you can turn them off when you go to the bathroom, we don’t want to see that.
Seriously, it’s easier just to leave them on while the officer is on patrol. Otherwise, they will have to remember to turn them on, and nobody will ever be able to establish if a recording is missing because someone was truly forgetful, or because they purposefully didn’t record the encounter.
Live stream them ALL to the internet. Interested citizenss can monitor them like they do the police scanners.
