That isn't an unfair worry to have. I am sure there are plenty of bad cops or cops with different opinions on the privacy of the public who argue not to have them.
Well if those cops had been doing their jobs properly, i.e. reporting and arresting bent cops, then they wouldn't need them.
Who is "those cops", is it the ones I know personally? Because if they knew of a bent cop they would report them and as far as I can tell do a damn fine job of doing their job properly. And as I pointed out part of their desire for the cameras wasn't to do with bent cops it had to do with presenting better evidence at trial and to do with protecting themselves from false reports.
