The current body cam system is a bit of a scam which is one of the reasons why you're seeing some places push back. The issue is there aren't very many companies making the devices, and while the device themselves are relatively cheap, maintaining and storing the data recorded by them becomes incredibly expensive. Some PD's have said that the service contract to maintain their body cams is basically making them go bankrupt.

Something that I don't see a lot of people talking about is we need a centralized, searchable, government maintained data center for body cam footage. And it needs to have some sort of convenient interface for automatically uploading footage from cameras checked in for the night.

That makes sense to me. If we're going to manage body cam footage, taxpayers should foot the bill for it imo.
