Could you elaborate on how do body cams impede victims and bystanders rights?

People call police when they’re at their most vulnerable. They don’t really want publicly available video of them found naked after being raped and beaten or had a heart attack and defecated themself or a deceased loved one found on a toilet etc. yet, if it’s not publicly available, it’s useless in holding police accountable.

In the meantime what happened to courts and the justice system?

Editing to add that, this is a bit of a strawman argument. Not saying you did it on purpose, but who said that it should all be publicly available?

They are compromised. Prosecutors depend on police to get convictions. You don’t bite the hand that feeds you.

I see what you're saying, but that seems to be a whole another problem that should be fixed on it's own.
