If I'm on the ground and an officer is yelling at me, I do not want other people even within that officer's bubble of space.
It's unreasonably escalatory in situations that instead need more calm.

If you're in that position, particularly for something as simple as he took something you said the wrong way, the cameras might keep the officer from going overboard too.
- ethbr1 3y agoOh, always-on cameras are a 100% prerequisite solution. The presumption needs to be that if a body camera is ever off, the worst thing happened while it was. Along with ensuring that hardware reliability and UX clearly communicates camera functioning to officers. (I'm not young enough to still assume widely-deployed tech, procured by the government, in real world scenarios is always functional)
