Bodycams are generally a good thing and more PDs should use them correctly. But they can put domestic violence victims in danger, too: From https://www.nsvrc.org/sarts/toolkit/5-6 https://www.nsvrc.org/sarts/toolkit/5-6 BWCs can record information about a victim's identity and whereabouts, which could potentially jeopardize a victim's safety if the perpetrator views the recording, if recorded data is handled improperly, or if that recording becomes public record. Often sexual assault takes place in areas where the expectation of privacy is high, such as a home or school, and a BWC may be seen as especially invasive in these locations. [72] The impact of BWCs on decisions to report to law enforcement is unknown, [73] but they may affect a victim's ability or willingness to speak to police. It is unknown at this time if BWCs support victims in feeling empowered.
