>If I'm on the ground and an officer is yelling at me, I do not want other people even within that officer's bubble of space.

If you're in that position, particularly for something as simple as he took something you said the wrong way, the cameras might keep the officer from going overboard too.

Oh, always-on cameras are a 100% prerequisite solution. The presumption needs to be that if a body camera is ever off, the worst thing happened while it was.

Along with ensuring that hardware reliability and UX clearly communicates camera functioning to officers. (I'm not young enough to still assume widely-deployed tech, procured by the government, in real world scenarios is always functional)

You don’t want more than one person to be close enough to notice if you’re still breathing?
