What if I have been a union steward for 25 years?

So?

What if I have routinely been cursed, threatened, held up and bit over 20 times.

So? And having a body cam is some sort of magic device that will prevent these things from happening?

What if I considered it to be part of providing me a safe workplace.

I would have suggested that perhaps you should have brought this up before? Doing so NOW when you have apparently decided that your goal in life is to be a YouTube Sensation is a bit on the fishy side.

And it will not keep you safe. It will just provide information of how you managed to die.

What if I filed a grievance?

So?

And made the government pay for it all?

And that makes you a typical government bureaucrat which is something most people on this forum consider slightly below slime mold.

If you want to wear a body cam outside of work, your business. If you want to wear a body cam as part of your official duties for the government you will NOT be posting on YouTube. If your department head decided that something you have recorded while on government time needs to be publicly available they will publish it themselves but odds are outside of a FOIA request it will never show up.

And if you get a official body camera I would warn you that everything you say and do is now part of the official record and can be used against you.

Also turning off that camera is regarded as, at the very least, suspicious and untrustworthy behavior by juries.

But you will do as you like.

Have fun.
