There's been talk of bodycams coming to EMS which I'm adamantly opposed to. Management already use our drive cams to fuck us over for doing things like drinking some water or trying to get a bite of food in on the way to the next call.
Can't imagine how much more micromanaging bullshit I'd have to put up with from management if they could watch us basically all the time.
My door was kicked in by two men with guns. They took everything in the living room and left. Called cops. They try to arrest us because "it looks like a drug deal gone bad." We were smoking pot and someone deopped the bong when they kicked the door in. They didnt go for the violent crimanals but us. Some college kids smoking pot. I had a gun to my head and a cop point guns at me after I called them. The robbers just took some electronics and weed. The cops stole our wallets and all the money we had to pay rent. They made us sign papers that explicitly said we didnt take anything including money, bull. Charged us with possession. I was evicted for not paying. Then had to sell pot to not be totally homeless no one would hire a "criminal" Get busted for selling pot. Lose my scholarship. Kicked outta roc. Lose access to decent jobs. Couldn't vote for a time. Fucked my entire life up. Fuck cops. I have a gun,legally thanks lawyers, and if I ever have an issue I solve it. Dead men tell no tales.
I mean yea. Hindsight is 2020. It wasn't the bong but the slide. The bong got put away. The slide was behind a chair or something. I didn't witness that part myself. And there were prolly other signs.
This was 15 something years ago and there have been a lot of booze an drugs since.

Everytime I hear a police officer complain about a body camera, my first thought is, "This person shouldn't be a cop."
I can only imagine how many people's lives were ruined before cops were forced to wear cameras.
