That's what the councilman said. All other context was clipped. As far as I can find, the rest of the 8 minute video is the host going on about that statement.Is it incorrect? Judge for yourself. But the headline, "Politician calls constituents criminals with no right to privacy" is obviously false.
And body cameras suck ass in terms of audio, they control when it's turned on and off, etc...
The best defense is to film them as well. Have cameras in your vehicle and home that stream directly to the cloud. Make sure that all the dialog is recorded.
Cops will do what they do - there is no stopping that at the individual level.
But what you can do is make sure that every movement and word is recorded for later scrutiny for due process. The days of banning cameras outright is gone, the data is sold and they purchase it. The only way to handle the invasion of privacy is to control the information.
Radio scanners made in the US today have a block in the 800Mhz range while everywhere else, that is not the case - reason? Newt Gingrich being caught talking this same shit over an analog cell phone. Yet, we still live with the stupid laws long after the technology, their antics or political relevance have moved on.
Every conversation they have, every thing they write down, everything they do on a computer or phone, everything their staff does, says, writes down, or does on a computer or a phone, everything all of these people do: who they have sex with, whose comedy shows they go see, where they spend their vacations, all of this should be entered into the public record.
Not even national security is a compelling reason for secrecy. The only legitimate need is to wage war against other nations, but the majority use case is to conspire more effectively against the public for profit or to increase authority. In a world where every country on earth is forced into a similar regime, the default case is everyone watches the political situation and can react accordingly if things go wrong. If war sentiment precipitates quickly usually the cause can be traced to individual actors, and those people can be removed from office by the people of their respective countries if the sentiment isn't generally shared. If the people decide they want war anyway, they can direct their governments to resume secrecy for the duration of the war.
If you are not a decision-maker in society this is ideal for you, and it is probably worth suffering WW3 to enforce it globally.

You can already slap together something with an RTSP stream and Frigate on an individual level. Some people have great views of the road, and some people could just count cars.
Frankly, I can see a lot of benefits for citizens if they could understand and verify which locations police enforce with their physical presence.
As an aside, where the public transparency and oversight for these schemes? It seems like such a powder keg.
