Cop arresting woman that's delusional

I absolutely agree that it's better than nothing, and to be completely honest, nothing would ever be foolproof.

Well, they can require it be turned on, but if the officer says on camera "No, I'm not going to talk to her anymore." and turns off the camera, how do we, or those in charge know whether or not he did or did not talk to her again?

I don't see any reason for an officer to be required to have his bowel movements recorded for later review. Or for him to record him telling his kids goodnight. Or telling his wife to go pull money out of the bank to fix the car.

There are any number of reasons for an officer to need to turn the camera off. Even including some on duty times. I would say introducing body cams is a start. There are many things to get worked out, and to litigate. Won't happen overnight but it's moving the right direction
