[ExI] In future, will everybody wear their own body cam?

[Adrian Tymes]

Might it be a near-term prospect that, in certain neighborhoods, it becomes
"fashionable" for residents - especially the wealthy and/or well-connected
- to routinely wear unobtrusive body cams in styles known to the police, as
a "if you try to violate my rights, you know you're on camera" deal, and
that is given as an unofficial but increasingly widely known excuse why
only the poor and disconnected get roughed up?
