Body cams film people being shot. Body cams film people being dragged out of their beds in their underwear and detained. And we’re clutching our pearls at some farts and groans that no one is going to watch? If you can’t handle someone possibly hearing you fart you shouldn’t be a cop.

But fine, allow cops to mute the audio. Problem solved.

If they mute the audio anytime they are not in the bathroom it is assumed they are trying to hide something and the missing audio is assumed to be damaging to the cops testimony.
