If body cams get cheaper and cheaper, companies might start asking more people to wear them while working.
E.g.:

I could see this for ~~doctors~~, at restaurants, ~~stores,~~, etc... eventually.
Are you ready to wear one?
EDIT TO ADD:
A few people said this wouldn't ever make sense for doctors (privacy laws) or for fixed locations (stores). I should have thought of that.
But what about Uber / bus drivers, or repair people who go into homes? I can imagine a large corporation thinking a cam is a good idea, for their own CYA (not for the customers' or the employees').
Also I don't like this idea either, to be clear. I was mostly playing devil's advocate here to see what you all think. Thanks for sharing your thoughts. Pretty much what I expected, tbh
Sure. Why not? It will probably work like it does with US police officers, magically turning off right before the ~~murder takes place~~ self defence happens.
Seriously, I wouldn’t care at all. But it’s still a stupid idea and I would strongly oppose it. Even if only in solidarity with people it would fuck over.
"Self defence"
Plot twist: you work at Home Depot.
