Something I'm wondering about police body cam footage.

Is there someone who has to watch it all every day, or save it and only watch when there's an issue that needs to be resolved?

What provokes this question: I'm noticing a lot of police body cam footage showing up in the news and there are even YouTube channels of nothing but. Seems like a civil rights violation to me, and I don't mean the cop's.

Making them private would negate that .
