A system with enough manual control that the officer has the task of tagging and offloading the footage sounds like a system where inconvenient footage will be mysteriously deleted.
I feel like that's being addressed as body cams get rolled out. I've heard about procedures to address faking damaged equipment and other excuses for "missing" footage.
Cruisers have had video for awhile now, so it's not completely new.
