I explained fairly clearly why I think it's a good thing. It will remove a lot of the doubt in regards to cases

There is absolutely no evidence of this whatsoever and existing evidence to the contrary. Bodycams and Hubcams aren't new, they've been around for many many years and have never had an effect in court.

The only effet they have had is on social media and Youtube, where they are often either edited or just not the whole story designed intentionally to rile people up. Which is the literal opposite of removing doubt.

You're fighting against your own point wholeheartedly.

I don't care how much it costs,

Then you pay for it instead of demanding that I do.

Your sources on "people will be more violent" actually claim they MAY be more violent,

Yes because several countries put a huge amount of research into it and the result was more violence.

It also "May" result in the second coming of Jesus. But in this world we go by reality, not by your emotions. And the reality is all existing evidence points towards bodycams doing nothing but hurting people at great cost for no gain.

You "Feeling" like it's a good idea anyway is just childish.

You seem to think I want to sit and watch videos of potential shootings and deaths to get outraged over,

That's the only thing mandatory body cam footage will effect. IF you don't do that then there is no reason to demand it.

But as a society we progress and recognize the technological advances we have and move forward instead of staying put and saying "NOPE EVERYTHING'S GOOD!" like you seemingly want to do

Strawman. No one is saying "Everything's good" they're saying "It's stupid to spend huge amounts of money to do something that pragmatically will accomplish nothing but hurt a lot of good people and increase violence just because you feel like that's a good idea."

Your argument is inane. Your car might need maintenance but that doesn't mean you slicing the tyres with a chainsaw (that you bought with my money) is a good idea just because "WEll the car had flaws and I thought it would be fun, therefore it's a good idea."

You need to think before you act. Not what you WANT to be true, look at what ACTUALLY is true.

When that mugger runs up to you with a sharp knife no amount of wanting him to be a friendly dog coming for a cuddle will make it so.
