I don’t think confidentiality is that important for bodycam footage. In the sense that most will be released anyway.

Integrity is critical as you would never want deletion or editing by unauthorized. But this is pretty easy to protect independent of Amazon.

This seems like a non-issue unless, for some reason unknown to me, they have extra reasons for not wanting the NSA to see bodycam footage. Although I suspect that any German data center is the same, if not more vulnerable.

Why would most videos be released, anyway; especially, in Germany? This is all videos, inclusive of "routine stops" or "health and wellness checks".

Why would they need extra reasons for not wanting that? Your supposition seems to infer that they should be o.k. with the NSA wanting to see bodycam footage any time that they want?

That makes no sense... That would be akin to saying that the Americans should be fine with the Chinese seeing bodycam videos any time that they choose. If it's not fine for one, why would it be fine for the other?

Possibly but they wouldn't be victim to the Cloud Act, yeah?
