This post gives my starting point and framing for both body-work cameras and oversight of the police generally. They are either tools of policing or tools for oversight of the police.
If we wind up with the former, we will have made things worse.

The real question is whether body worn cameras are a tool -for- the police to record and surveil, a mechanism of control and oversight -of- the police, or a hybrid of the two.
If they are to be an oversight mechanism, then we need a non-police body to hold the data.
Civilian oversight now.
