That was one of my first thoughts: are there going to be as many “Oh, the recording is unusable” and such with these are there are with car cams when they show the officers in a bad light?
And I flat hate that being one of my first thoughts about them.
All police interactions should be recorded and stored on independently run servers for several years. It’s too easy for them to lie about what happened.
Hey, if we are going to record all audio and visual of the police, can we also record all audio and visual of all government officials and government employees” Pleeeeease?
It would sure clear up a lot of misunderstanding about what they do with tax dollars and how they do it, who they do it with, and who they do it to.
I for one would love to have a recording of our president’s recent meeting with Benjamin Neyanyahu. It sure would clear up questions about our president’s support of our best Mideast ally.
And recording what the legislative leadership, and all members, say and see and do would make it real essy to hold them to their campaign promises, now wouldn’t it?

I know of a few cops who will not like this in the slightest.

Better make them all wear two, and it better not have an off button, or else there will be nothing but convenient malfunctions.
