Studies on the subject show that cops who have cameras on them are far less likely to get aggressive with law abiding citizens. Just like the criminals that they are...and let me repeat that: Just like the criminals that they are some cops don't want their crimes to be seen by the public.

Don’t count on it ,,, the video will only be seen if it helps them... just like the DVR in-car camera...

I have heard that other LEOs in jurisdictions that already have cameras as part of their Duty Gear simply turn off the cams when they do not want a recording of whatever is occurring to exist.

Better for us non-LEOs to purchase individual wireless webcams to record situations so even if the camera is forcibly turned off by LEOs or "accidentally" rendered inoperable (broken) at any time a record exists that will provide proof of actual occurrences rather than only the LEO's statement as to how events transpired.
