Body cams are just technology. In order to be useful, they need to be controlled with appropriate policy.

Everything you suggest makes a tonne of sense. I'd argue that footage should be held by an oversight body, rather than the police, and it shouldn't be possible to turn the cameras off, only mark periods as "private".
