In that case the records need to be auditable, e.g. available for subpoenas and all that. But given the frequency of their body feels suddenly "malfunctioning" during arrests, I don't see that happening in the shower term.

What we need BEFORE encrypted comms is stronger accountability laws and harsher punishments for police brutality.

Otherwise I won't buy the "protect and serve" excuse. They just want to save their own asses.
