But...if the cameras are on 24/7 and are made so that an officer can't turn them off, how do you work this?

I can't foip any random police report.
Yes, you actually can. You would need to pay the foip fee for it, but you absolutely can. It'd also likely come heavily redacted, but you still can do so.

This is why legislation, policy and law are still being navigated. I hold out hope that they'll get there, eventually.

Also, as someone that worked on CPS/Fire accidents when at the City, as soon as they activate to respond to a call the camera should be one to ensure they are following "hot response" or whatever they are called protocols.
Is that only for 'hot response' only or for any response? I am on the fence there myself, honestly. I kind of feel that as soon as they 'accept' the call that they are 'responding' and should activate their BWC. But if they are going to a lower priority call, they may go to the bathroom and hit the drive-through first...can they turn their camera off for that, or because they are already 'responding' it's too late and the BWC must stay on? Should policy say they need to turn it on when they are "a couple blocks away" from the call site? Or is as long as it's not a "hot response" call, it's ok if it's turned on by the time they are a couple steps from the car after arriving?

There are a lot of scenarios, and I'm kinda glad I'm not involved in the policy making process...though I also think it'd be neat to be involved.
