Storage is pretty cheap.
Especially if you rewrite over useless data.
If you think in terms of Apple fanboy, storage is expensive.
In reality it's very cheap.

It's my understanding that it is roughly $500k base total, for the first year of storage, and then an additional $500k each year thereafter. They keep the video for what, 4 years? With the exception of violent crime like homicide, which is kept indefinitely. So if you have something kept for say, 5 years, it ends up costing around $2.5M, from what I have been told.
A lot of people see the body cameras as something positive, and yes, they can be. But look at what's happening with Seattle.

"How much is all of this costing?" KIRO 7 reporter Linzi Sheldon asked Nick Zajchowski, manager of the Seattle Police Department's body camera program. "It's going to be roughly around $800,000 or $900,000 per year for the storage and hardware," he said. Through a public records request, KIRO 7 discovered other costs. The cost Zajchowski was referencing will be $853,708 in 2018. The police department has also budgeted $48,720 for video management software, $241,936 for support staff, $223,918 for video redaction and sharing staff and $126,303 for warranties and other expenses. It adds up to the body camera program costing taxpayers in the city of Seattle $1,494,585 for 2018.

Explain. I like the cameras, but your posts seem to indicate that there are no drawbacks, when in fact there are several, storage being one of the main ones.
What’s “useless” videos?
You can’t just store the data like your home videos, it has to be encrypted and stored securely so they can’t be tampered with.
And legally they (the PDs) are required to store videos for a period of time.
