    Always on. Simple as that. Have a little magnetic charger that sticks on it to keep it charged up while in the car, pops off by itself when you get out.

        Always on means always accountable.

        Oh look at that chunk of missing video from Officer Piggins, that’s a fine, probation and an audit.

        In this theoretical scenario I think they’d be told to “forget” to come into work tomorrow (or ever again) ;P

        Police with standards, though? Maybe not in the United States.

      Fuck that, install them with local area wireless chargers.

      They are not perfect, but could be perfected with funding and more engineering talent dealing with it. But with this, the charging antenna could be embedded in the console between the seats and the cameras charged by virtue of existing in proximity. No need to take them off, no need to turn them off, no way to prevent them from being fully charged and on without tampering that js obvious. You would have to put them or the antenna in a Faraday cage to prevent them from charging.
