Hypothetically, all footage from an officer, when they're on-shift, could be of interest. And it's probably fair to say that state / the public have a right to that information for some purposes.

In the interest of sanity, I think we can suspend recording for personal moments: - Bathroom - Medical - Break time (e.g. eating)

We can potentially switch to a lower-resolution / audio-only take for the vast majority of a shift. E.g. idling in a cruiser.

As someone else highlighted, what we absolutely want to record is: - Use of weapon (holster switch) - Conflict (volume trigger?) - Immediately preceding interval before camera turned off (presumably, will contain a request / rationale to disable)

Effectively, what we want to do is switch from a trigger-on to a trigger-off. Cops shouldn't have to even think about cameras. They should just work.
