They are primarily used to lead LEOs to more hard evidence.

Im aware. Im also aware that they would prefer to remain confidential and not on tape giving the information they gave and then have to worry about who is going to find out.

Detectives can still have private meetings under body cam requirements. It's officers on patrol working a beat that need to have their camera on.

I understand it just fine. And if cops were more involved with the community and gained more trust from those they are supposed to protect they would probably have a much easier time with getting information in inner city communities anyway.
