The fact that body cameras can be turned off is insane to me. Most office workers need to suffer the same "constantly surveilled during work" and the stakes of their mistakes is so much drastically less than law enforcement officers.
Releasing full unredacted body camera footage continuously is a bad idea - but prosecutors and defense attorneys have been trusted with equivalently sensitive information in the past. I don't know how we lost the battle on this front and allowed them to ever be turned off.
