This is a weird stance.

How do you think that works with cops and body cams? I am genuinely asking what you think here. I would guess probably most turn them off but maybe not all do. Why? Because all that stuff is irrelevant in the case the records are checked in the first place.

If you're job is to soft thru evidence for legal process, are you watching the cop take a leak? You only care about rhe specific time frame of the incident in question. In fact you're jurisdiction is only within some narrow time frame so you'd have no business watching anything outside of that.

That's my point.
