> "Video of bystanders? So what?"
As someone else mentioned, sometimes bystanders are caught on film doing something they don't want others to know they do -- they're at the "wrong" kind of club, religious service, political event, restaurant, etc. from the perspective of their family or social circle.
And yes, these same concerns apply to other types of cameras -- particularly those that, like police body cameras, might also be used inside private spaces. That doesn't mean we should be "outraged", but we should be concerned about the potential dangers posed by a default expectation of public release.
Finally, I completely agree that police should have to keep their body cameras on during work hours, though there needs to be some solution for restroom breaks.
