would these help lead to more arrest if assaults were captured on the cameras

It might also help find lost puppies, but that's not a good enough reason to give up any additional amounts of privacy to the megacorporations or to a police state.

    Everyone around you has a phone with a camera. Businesses and the government have additional cameras looking all over. The phone camera being less obvious and handsfree seems like an arbitrary choice of where to draw the line

    I don't know about you, but when I'm walking around all my phone camera sees is the inside of my pocket. Hands free stealth cameras seems like a perfectly reasonable place to draw the line.
