Police are employees and the cameras running is a term of their employment. To me, it seems no different than a delivery truck driver having a traffic camera on in the truck being a term of their employment. No one is forcing them to be employed in this job and they don't have a "right" to arbitrarily dismiss reasonable conditions of employment (like "wear a uniform", etc) and, in effect, force their employer to keep employing them despite not fulfilling their employment contract.
Yeah, what worries me is not that some individual police don't want accountability, but the system doesn't want to make rules that would hold police accountable.
Generally, not at the Chief level. Similar in the Fire Service. Chief/Deputy Chief/Assistant Chiefs are generally not unionized, because they have labor responsibilities.
