> A little apples to oranges, but I get the feeling the same folks who are against being photographed in public are probably pro police bodycams The reasoning is not contradictory as you imply at the end; it is indeed apples and oranges. The "pro police bodycam" position is for capturing the actions of the person wearing it, protecting the camera's subject by adding accountability. The point is for the recording to be available as a public record in case of a problem, not for the officer to be able to use it. A random videographer on the street does not have anything like the same relationship with their captured subjects, and is probably not making a record that is positive for the recorded person (or the public). And that's to say nothing of private surveillance cameras; the difference there should be obvious.
