Although I agree with you in general, I think this is for practical reasons. It's not helpful to record 24/7, outside of police operations with regard to battery capacity and limits to bandwidth and data storage.
One could propose a system where recording is triggered automatically when leaving the patrol car (BLE dongle) and can only be reset by a centralized authority.
- jackson1442 5y agoRecording 24/7 is a simple problem- they turn off when placed on a charging dock in the station. With how microSD is progressing I don't think it's necessary to disable in a patrol car. Perhaps it could somehow communicate with the clock in/out system and only be disabled when the officer is not clocked in to work? Then, lunch would be off the clock and off the camera. I don't see how it's too different from stores recording their cashiers 24/7.
