While I agree with what you say for the most part, it's not a question of "what rules can we add on top of the existing structure?". Which is why simply adding bodycams has been so ineffective. We're only really going to be safe from cops by essentially nuking the entire system and starting over. The core issue is that cops are far less vulnerable to prosecution or even non-legal accountability than almost any other citizens. Largely this is due to police unions. In addition to the structural inertia, there's cultural inertia - cops don't want to hold each other accountable either. This is why people talk about reforming police from the ground up. It's actually easier than "fixing" the current system, which actively fights against accountability.

There one but 1 reform that will do the most... Putting an end to the moronic judicial created doctrine of "Qualified Immunity" it is very sad that we had the opportunity to do so in 2020, with both Democrat and Republican Support, but that opportunity was wasted by using that political interia and capital on the moronic "De fund the police" mantra's where by the new status quo seems to be "Well if the police act like criminals lets to all be criminals and never arrest anyone for anything".... "Qualified Immunity" is one of the Root Causes of the policing problem, and it needs to end
