- cost a lot and violate the privacy of the police officer and the public.
- people may be less inclined to share information if they know they're being filmed by a police officer. (police officers can be seen as intimidating enough, let alone with a camera to film)
- is it really worth it? In most physical situations, the view will be blocked and unclear if it's up close.
- According to early versions of policies governing their use, law enforcement officers must physically activate the camera when they exit their patrol car. The recording equipment must be manually activated when interacting with civilians or recording statements during investigations. However, officers decide when to activate the camera, and for how long the footage is stored, and if and when should it be made accessible to public. For example, the camera can be deactivated when interviewing a victim of sexual assault, to help maintain victim's privacy. (Cameras do not allow any privacy).

Alcohol is a key contributor to ambulance callouts. Government figures estimate that in
2009/10 there were 1.4 million alcohol-related ambulance/paramedic journeys, which
accounted for 35% of all emergency journeys. 3

Wall Street Journal article: https://www.techdirt.com/articles/20160815/08474935244/study-says-police-body-cameras-have-contributed-to-increased-uses-deadly-force.shtml

Body cameras have been shown to decrease deployments of excessive force and reduce complaints by citizens, but only when used in conjunction with policies that hold officers accountable for not recording their interactions with the public.
Police officers decide to turn off cameras when they want to:
A Chicago police officer who fatally shot a black man in the back last week was wearing a body camera during the shooting, but the camera was turned off at the time, officials with the city’s police department said Monday.
A Spokane police officer involved in the shooting of a domestic violence suspect last weekend was wearing a body camera but did not have it turned on, according to an initial investigation.

Police officers typically cite alcohol – and particularly cheap alcohol – as the biggest problem
they face, implicated in crime in both the night time economy and domestic settings. The
head of the Metropolitan Police has described it as a “multiplier in the volume of crime in the
UK”.12

Our analysis indicates that on average police respondents
spend 53% of their time dealing with alcohol-related casework.
34 Most respondents
believe this to be a significant issue, with 60% confirming that alcohol-fueled incidents
account for the majority of their time

Use of body cameras may prevent people from coming forward as credible witnesses to help assist with investigations, due to fear of retaliation or fear of public exposure.

Officers decide when to activate the camera so the can 'manipulate' the content

- Footage recorded in citizen's home
-  Footage captured within health care, mental health care, or social services facilities as well as at the scene of a medical emergency involving a death or involving an injury that requires transport to a medical facility
(Can be solved by implementing policies)

A lot of people who attack when they're drunk regret the action as soon as they've sobered up. Alcohol causes an individual to act irrationally. This will not change through the use of a body-cam. Some may even be too drunk to understand they are being recorded.

Body cams do not have eye-tracking software so they may not record vital evidence that an officer has given.

A large amount of attacks on E.S are due to more complex reasons such as mental health or effect of medication. Therefore, a body cam would not stop it happening

In the situations where individuals are lashing out because they are scared, a camera will not prevent them.

If officers/personnel know they are going to be recorded and scrutinised for their every move they may hesitate in dangerous situations which could place them in more danger.

Filming individuals often escalates the situation- therefore, is it a good idea?
