Yes but one day they will be right.

Better to buy a couple hundred $200 cameras than to spend millions in lawsuits.
Unfortunately I've tested two of the cheaper cameras. You truly do get what ya pay for. The resolution and pic quality was so poor (low light), and the field of view was so bad I doubt it would help any. Might even hurt. I also tested a good one, 699.00 is out of my budget right now. But I am putting off a few gun purchases until I can scrape it up.
Nothing screams poor craftsmanship like wrinkles in your duct tape
There is also another potential problem that I want to throw into the mix here.
Body cams, like dash cameras, are subject to Open Records Act. That means that the police department has to keep every moment recorded for 7 years. With hundreds of officers and cameras/incidents being recorded, the raw storage, backup (potential hard drive failure) and chain of custody tracking of these videos, plus the copying of these videos for investigations, ORA and media requests this can cause potential problems for departments both large and small. There will also be hardware failures and other things to consider.
Technology is never as simple as it seems once it is scaled up, I deal with medium to large infrastructure daily.
