They absolutely should always be recording - and frequently backing up data to a server outside their control. Although it probably needs to have judicial oversight for access to days files?
But yeah, what’s the damn point if it’s controlled by the very people the technology is intended to provide oversight for?

Why would you need oversight for access? All footage of all officers interactions with the public available to all citizens within say a few days of being filmed. That’s how you achieve oversight.

Absolutely agree. The way things are it’s just another flavor of the “we investigated ourselves and found nothing wrong” bullshit.
