Dec 2020

I use a body mounted (actually it is mounted on my hat) and I hit the button to record and about one of out of 5 times or so, the camera doesn't start recording.

having said that, there should be a way to tie the camera activation to the opening of the car door like the key fob door unlocking/car starting so that when the officer leaves the car it turns on and then turns off a random period of time after re-entering the car.

Having them run all day and all the time creates its own issue, unless you want to record them using the bathroom (which anyone would consider an invasion of privacy) or something similar.
