And if one of the people is lying, you won't catch them if you give them a chance to see what the camera caught.
Ironically, officers of the court are not allowed to testify *or let others testify* to something which they know is false. A lawyer cannot put you on the stand to say something they know is not true, and if they do, they're liable. You can see how this creates a problem for police officers, who are also officers of the court.
I would hate to imagine the data bill that would be incurred from uploading all that data, It would probably be a couple gigabytes, per shift. NYC has a lot of police officers. Also, there's a lot of cases where there would be no cellular connection, like in subway trains, or under bridges. Certain buildings do a pretty good job of cutting off cell reception in the elevators. All the tall buildings in New York create quite a few dead zones, or at least places with less than optimal signal levels which would make uploading video in real time a big problem. Also, what happens when there's a riot, and you get 100 officers all standing in one spot trying to upload video in real time to the same cell tower. Can the towers handle that kind of traffic?
Only stream the secure hashes -- then we know the video exists and it can't be faked. If a particular officer "loses" their video too often, discipline them. You could also do P2P hash sharing, so even if wireless is down each officer is carrying the hashes from their fellow officers.
FERPA also leaves things open to interpretation. For example, Universities can share "directory information" and they get to define what that term means. Teachers should not have access to grading info... unless they need it to do their job.

no one understands FERPA anyway

This is some good trolling.
Over the years "gamer" has evolved ...
The definition of "gamer" is the question under consideration. You can't just insist that the word means what you want it to mean.
It's only *kids* who think "gamer" has anything to do with a particular style of game or a particular demographic.
Insults. Always a solid argument.
Gamers are of all ages, genders, and races.
We're against diversity if we disagree. Got it.
But, hey, if you're convinced that "gamer" means pimply faced male playing first person shooter wargame on My Favourite Platform, knock yourself out.
More insults.
You're wrong, of course, but I've learned many years ago you can't convince people who "know they're right" of anything.
We're ignorant if we disagree.
