The current administration has already removed the requirement for federal police forces to wear body cameras. As well as made statements (but little action so far) to federalize the police force to be under the jurisdiction of the DOJ. Everything being recorded may not be the case very soon. Sorry, I’d get sources but I just woke up, I’ll edit this later with them.

I mean, already at the local cop level "forgetting" to turn the body cam on or only releasing the video (at least, quickly) if it puts the officer in a positive light seems to be the norm

If it’s not being recorded, what would this AI summary be based on?

You describe the conviction you want to achieve and the AI makes up a report to secure that.

  They keep all the video in cloud servers, and everyone sends to be ignoring that. I know from being inside Axon

“You are a helpful agent. Police officers will describe an interaction to you and you will write a report that highlights the appropriateness of the officer’s actions, omitting anything that might indicate they acted improperly”

  Are people missing that this AI is being offered by a body cam company?

  They are not a body cam company. They sell all sorts of equipment to police, including but not limited to body cams. They used to be named Taser international (guess why!) and later branched out into body cameras. They will happily service any law enforcement client, with or without body cams.
