I've seen less than a handful of, usually shorts, on YT purporting to be body-cam footage, but they all seem too well-framed and fairly obviously scripted / staged / fake to me, because I'm actually paying attention to the 'environment' not just the 'action'.

But I doubt most doomscrollers would notice that in their half-comatose state.

It IS real, unfiltered bodycam footage. From an actor, following a script, in front of one or many other actors, also following scripts. I think that's how they get away with it, they don't specify it's bodycam footage from actual law enforcement. Yes, gross.
