Fundamentally, they are people. Maybe even more importantly, crime doesn't just happen nonstop all the time everywhere. How many of us spend time at work not working? If every one of your smoke breaks, trips to hn, and other assorted breaks were recorded, I'm sure a damning case could be made against you the next time you're up for review. You don't think that would have political implications? I can't think of all the out comes that could have.
Likewise, I'll tell a personal story. I tend to drive fast. I've not had many tickets but I've had a few. Two really cool police gave me warnings a handful of years back instead of tickets; not just a warning but they reminded me of the car seat in the back, my family and suggested I slow down to be safer. It had a dramatic impact, I'd just get pissed off and pay a ticket but the warning, that they chose to give, stuck with me more and I've slowed down. Could that be done by a robot police officer that never takes breaks and follows the law literally and letter by letter? What if those cops had a record of giving certain races warnings but came down hard on other races?
im not against body cameras, especially in the current world of paramilitary style police, but it seems like there is a need for some human wisdom on a case by case basis here. Simple fixes could easily have some bad outcomes.
