I believe most of them use cryptographic techniques to make it extremely difficult (government-level resources required) to tamper with or fake.
That wont sit well with the tinfoil hat brigade
Why are all rpis we hear about on here 'grumpy'

They are the norm for half of our staff. Regardless of what the company tell us, the generally accepted use is primarily when it starts kicking off, staff hit the capture button. Otherwise they are on a 5 minute over-writing loop. They could be used for 'revenue' purposes but in reality they are a deterrent, and there to stop staff abuse.
With some bodycams, when the capture button is activated the previous 30-60 seconds is retained from the over-writing loop. Earlier this year this led to a police officer in Baltimore, MA unknowingly recording himself planting evidence!
So if used appropriately they're of benefit to everyone except those with nefarious intent.
Police filming peaceful protests I'm less keen on, but that's off-topic!
Police will record you walking to a football match!
Interesting conundrum; if you wore a t-shirt with a copyrighted picture on it, then filmers would be breaking copyright law recording it...and would if the person was playing music on his radio at the same time....
In that case, the police are breaking copyright law if ever they do film me walking to a match, as I'm never without a replica shirt and/or footwear with logos on show!
If those things are exempt, I'm going to start wearing t-shirts with album covers on them to games and political demonstrations!
you know its possible to check for any deleted footage don't you?
Copyright's there for a reason. Suppose a member of the public filmed someone who did something daft and it ended up on youtube. There's an argument that any logos on his/her clothes would have to be blanked out!

I suspect the vast majority of theml might think "got a weirdo here" ...
It's filming if the red light is showing. There is slide switch on the side which turns it on and, as I understand it, the footage then has to be transferred to a computer before it can be used as evidence.Being a ticket inspector is very much a job involving conflict. You won't find many guards or revenue staff who haven't been either physically or verbally assaulted at some point in their careers to one degree or another. Welcome to the real world. The railway is generally quite a friendly place but it can turn on you at any minute.
He's not filming you unless he tells you he is or you give him reason to. They don't have that long a life on them.

Perhaps staff should stream to YouTube Live instead and then the public could see what they have to deal with.
Given what occurred with me last week, that's actually not the bad idea you make it sound!!!
