Make the record button a pause button. Let it stop for five minutes if you're not moving. Once you walk away, it automatically resumes, independent of time. If you pressed pause while not in front of the shitter, you're investigated.

Unless you're going to the bathroom in front of a mirror why does it need to be paused at all?

I don't want to fart and shit and groan in front of a camera or a microphone.

Too bad. Then don't be a cop.

And I'm not. But crying they miss empathy (which they do) and then deny it to them is just further digging trenches.

You know there's an easy fix for that. They can stop being colossal pieces of shit. Putting the impetus on the victims to be better rather than the victimizers is victim blaming 101.

Body cams film people being shot. Body cams film people being dragged out of their beds in their underwear and detained. And we're clutching our pearls at some farts and groans that no one is going to watch? If you can't handle someone possibly hearing you fart you shouldn't be a cop.

But fine, allow cops to mute the audio. Problem solved.

If they mute the audio anytime they are not in the bathroom it is assumed they are trying to hide something and the missing audio is assumed to be damaging to the cops testimony.

Yes, I'm not willing to become as bad as them.

Mute is fine for me.
