So, the Left has changed the way they FEEL about police body cams…

If tweet fails to load, click here. Democrats are flipping the script AGAIN, pushed like crazy for body cams on cops to “hold them accountable,” but now whine that ICE using them could invade protesters’ “privacy”!
So which is it, folks?
Transparency when it suits their narrative, or straight up surveillance paranoia?
Can’t have it both ways. The hypocrisy is off the charts!

Another attempt to define the enemy backfires. This is like MeToo movement.
Now that the world sees another view of just how violent democrat voters really are, we need to turn that off and just go back to the news lying to you.

It isn’t about body cameras ……

It’s 2026. Every LEO in this country should be wearing a body cam, it should be running their entire shift, and they should not be allowed to mute it. Period.

Even when they take a break to eat or go to the bathroom?

I guess you want them to carry around a car battery strapped to themselves to power a video camera for 12 straight hrs?

Should be turned once they respond to a call.
Firable offense if muted or turned off during a call

Pretty much done. Some outliers still, but heavily adopted. Certainly near 100% in any decent sized city.

This is automated.
Catch up guys.

I agree with you. If I was a Cop, I’d want it for my own protection as well. I could prove what happened and it’s not my word against theirs.
The point of the thread was to show that the Left is now flip flopping on the idea of body cams now that the footage is being used against them.
I found that humorous and wanted to share.

No one has ever suggested that police body cams are an invasion of privacy. They serve a truth display function.

Then why am I still seeing a bunch of body cams, officers manually turning it on (with the 30 second of video but no audio)?
Posted on 2/8/26 at 9:08 am to onmymedicalgrind
When’s the last time you’ve seen an agency not wearing body cams?
Should have bought into Axon early.
I have an unfair advantage in this but I am not aware of any sheriffs office or PD not using body cams.
Some agencies have 2 cameras in the car. One forward facing and one on the criminal inside the prisoner compartment.
Some add a rear facing camera but that’s not very popular.

Dude, Politico wrote an article about it. So, yes, Democrats did say this.
Here’s the Politico article…
A push to put body cameras on all ICE agents has Democrats running headlong into a new problem: fear that the technology will provide another avenue for mass surveillance of protesters.
Congressional Democratic leaders have made universal use of body cameras one of their prime demands for imposing accountability on Immigration and Customs Enforcement, especially after federal agents fatally shot two American citizens in Minneapolis. But after an outcry from privacy advocates that surveillance tools will allow ICE agents to identify and track protesters, Democrats are also calling for restrictions on how the body cameras can be used.
Lawmakers and legal observers have accused ICE of leveraging a variety of cameras to surveil protesters, feeding pictures into license plate readers and facial recognition systems. Democrats now worry that the body cameras they’re demanding could be used for similar purposes.
Democrats have proposed legislation to limit ICE’s use of facial recognition, but the proposals are unlikely to advance without bipartisan support.
House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries and Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer say they want to tack on restrictions to how ICE can use body camera footage, according to a letter sent to Republican leadership on Wednesday night.
“Prohibit tracking, creating or maintaining databases of individuals participating in First Amendment activities,” the letter says.
It’s unclear how the request for new limits on surveillance will affect ongoing negotiations with Republicans to pass a funding bill for the Department of Homeland Security. Republicans already agreed to provide more funding for body cameras for ICE officers before Democrats began pushing for limits on how the images are used.
A spokesperson for Senate Intelligence Committee Vice Chair Mark Warner (D-Va.) told POLITICO that Democrats are lining up behind leadership to push for the restrictions, fueled by reports of ICE tracking protesters. DHS launched an internal investigation on ICE’s use of surveillance after Warner sent a letter flagging privacy worries.
Sen. Ed Markey (D-Mass.), who proposed a ban on ICE agents using facial recognition, also supported surveillance limits on body cameras.
“Obviously we want them to be wearing body cameras, but we would want restrictions placed on what that information could be used for,” Markey said. “We want to make sure that we have the accountability for how these officers conduct themselves on the streets of our country, but we don’t want it in turn to be used as a way of coming back and suppressing free speech.”
White House press secretary Karoline Leavitt said President Donald Trump would not accept any deals that undermine ICE’s enforcement capabilities.
“I know Sen. Schumer and Leader Jeffries sent over a very long list of demands, some of which the administration is willing to discuss. Others don’t seem like they are grounded in any common sense and they are non-starters for this administration,” she said at a press conference on Thursday.
