@sir But then would you have to give consent to being recorded if you're ever stopped?

@jordan31 @sir I'm no lawyer but I'm pretty sure they, nor anyone, needs to get consent the record in public.

I like the idea of body cameras, but I don't like the idea of them always-recording (since it effectively deploys surveillance cameras city/county/state-wide). Are there any good suggestions on how this should work? The officer cannot be trusted to turn on the camera, obviously, so how should the camera be "activated" in this case? Or is the only solution for the camera to be always recording?Or should the camera always record to its in-device storage, but be continuously-erasing every x minutes unless the footage is requested - i.e., the camera only stores the last two hours, unless a situation unfolds, in which case the camera stops stops erasing so the footage can be reviewed later?It would just be really unfortunate to see the (very good) transparency push lead to a networked bodycam/dashcam scenario I guess is all I'm getting at. Maybe current cams are non-networked, and we just have to trust that things will stay that way and that the recordings will not be abused, but it seems like these things should be made requirements just like the bodycam itself should be a requirement.Sorry if these ramblings are ignorant. I would like some input from people who are more familiar with these things.

@thor until we can eliminate the police entirely then I think that body cams are worth more than the privacy problems they imply. The use of that data should be strictly regulated and things like facial recognition prohibited, though.

I think your second sentence eases my fears such that the "privacy problems" mentioned in your first sentence is a non-issue for me. Keep the data on the camera, strict oversight on that, etc...yes, I think this could be done safely and in a way that doesn't endanger privacy.Thank you for your response.Also, (don't have to answer this if you don't want to), are your opinions (not just bodycams, but looking back on some of your other stuff) on cops/police equal across local police, sheriffs' departments, and state troopers, or do you have differing viewpoints on how these offices act/should act/etc? As an example, I know of people that think local police and state troopers should be dissolved and important duties relegated to the county sheriff's office (and what this person sees as unimportant duties dropped entirely). Wondering if you have any thoughts regarding these separate offices, or if you view all law enforcement pretty much the same.Like I say, if this just isn't something you feel like talking about that's fine too.
