While we can all agree that bodycams don’t solve the problem, the argument presented for why they are bad is incredibly weak.

If a cop is close enough for their bodycam to see or hear you, then you are already being surveilled, and you are already being intimidated. Anything you say or do can already be used against you. At least a camera (if it’s on) will limit their ability to just make shit up.

It’s also a bit strange for someone arguing for taking action outside of the system to also seemlingly think that the only meaningful repercussion for police murder would be conviction.
