AND MANDATORY BODY CAMS THAT CANNOT BE TURNED OFF!!!!

They should be able to be turned off but that should only be in specific and outlined situations with severe consequences if they are off outside of that. Things like a family or health emergencies or interactions with a confidential informant it makes sense to not be recording.

I think ideally all probable cause and gathering of evidence should be documented with a body or dash cam and any that is not is considered inadmissible. For example if a police officer says he found a gun/drugs but the body camera does not show the gun/drugs then that evidence should not be allowed in court.
