Below you say your point is "cameras don't remove enforcement bias, so your complaint is really that they don't remove racial bias at a systemic level in the legal system... Did it really need to be pointed out camera won't remove racial bias from the entire legal system? They remove bias at the "give a person who is speeding a ticket" level and more importantly they limit the damage that can be done at the moment of enforcement. Cameras don't get to go "I think I smell drugs" and have your car torn to bits. Cameras can't exploit a poor understanding of your rights and accidentally consent to a search that would have been illegal otherwise. Cameras don't "fear for their lives" and shoot someone. Bias in the places enforced needs something more than a camera, but that's common sense. By limiting the bias in who is targeted by a biased police enforcement structure and the strength of that enforcement at the moment of the infraction, you take away a lot of the power that is being given to a biased legal system. Right now they end up in those same neighborhoods, except instead of giving anyone who speeds a ticket, they pull over people who fit a profile of who they want to pull over. They turn "speed enforcement" into stop and frisk with a pretense. And to add insult to injury, their targets are usually the people who can afford this sort of attack the least. You need more than a camera to stop police from being out there, but by seriously raising the barrier for them to be able to stop people, you force them onto back footing in their harassment, which is a start.
