> Once quit a job when they tried to install ai powered driver facing dash cams

That avenue is open for police officers too. If they don’t like the scrutiny they can and should absolutely leave the profession.

> Everyone would be against body cams

I don’t understand what you are saying. If police didn’t have the authority to use violence then everyone would be against body cams? I mean they wouldn’t be the police if that were so.

Besides one of the people who are for body cams is the police themselves. (Many of them at least). They have to deal with all sort of people. Some are okay. Some are scheming liars, who make up all kind of grievances. The body cam is protecting the officers from the lies of this second kind of people.

They don’t need to because they work in fixed workplaces where a fixed CCTV can cover their interactions. If waitstaff would be serving on the side of random roads, backyards, and in random homes it would probably make sense for them to wear CCTV.
