(not a lawyer!) Even if he is right (I firmly believe he is not) and police have a right not to incriminate themselves via body cam footage, this would only preclude courts from using footage as evidence of a cop's crimes. But what if the footage also contains evidence that a criminal defendant is innocent? Chief Medina throws the baby out with the bathwater. Of course the solution is not to turn off body cams. They serve a massive public good apart from catching police malfeasance - though that's good too. The police do not have a constitutional right to prevent bad PR or boxing cops in on the facts with video.
