Yes, and the reason they are not more widespread is not that cops don’t want to wear them, its because the data storage is prohibitively expensive.

Yeah, terabytes are what, under five bucks now?

It's a damn crime that you can sleep at night.

Just WTF do you know about storing hours and hours of video footage for sometimes years at a time for X amount of officers?

That’s right, just like the incident, you know nothing.

Cops don’t make decisions about body cameras. Administrators make those decisions. It isn’t the storage that is the expensive part. It is creating and certifying a new “system of record”, then setting policy on how long the videos must be stored, and administering public access outside the court system. It doesn’t take long for that to add up to real money in a budget.
