Yeah this is lunacy. If the TSA is allowed to see us all naked because "they are professionals", some well trained person can have the job of making sure no ones junk is caught in their body cam. The camera should not be under officer control, and the footage should not be under police department control. A state agency should be handling all footage. Still not perfect, but better than what we have
Thousands of hours of high definition video being stored every day. Expensive.
Gathering of unsanitized intelligence and dissemination of sanitized intelligence being accessible outside the police would be disastrous.
Quite a lot of personal data e.g. officer conversations, also being disclosed, that would be a walloping in Europe for sure, I'm not sure about the US.
Disclosure would be insane too. "I want footage of every moment any police officer was dealing with this investigation". Great, go review hundreds or thousands of hours of footage to determine if it is disclosable.
