I don’t know why we accept this. It would be easy to make it so if an officer failed to turn on their body cam, and a complaint was filed (which should buffer an entire shift, or at least an hour or so), the presumption is there was misconduct and the officer should be fired, and possibly tried for criminal charges. If I failed to take appropriate records of my job, or fulfil my duties (esp if my job were safety critical), and a complaint was lodged, I’d be out the door.
