if im not wrong, most countries have bodycam footage. what differs is how easily it is to get it/the rights of those filmed. in the US its very easy to request access to a specific case and sometimes police departments release them themselves. those recorded also have absolutely no rights so a mother crying because her baby was found dead cannot request a right to privacy/removal. it should be noted that americans are this quick to record everything because it played a huge part in minorities being able to document what was done to them. you can also sometimes see officers fucking up and it can be used as evidence. like most people ive been in situations where the police and paramedics were involved and the only silver lining is that the footage of me in those moments will never end up on a youtube reaction channel...
