When enough people get fed up and start protesting in court with the video of what REALLY happened, things will change.
When the machines can be bolted to your body with the on/off switch unavailable, the cops bad behavior will be improved providing they can see the recording device. Until then, they can be real morons when they should be hunting down the local criminals.

I'm in favor of the cops being forced to wear a mini camera and audio device and the public having access to it if they feel mistreated.

Then things would change a bit for the better.
