I refuse to use camera in meetings

Depends on the pay differential and other options. I think it's less useful for positions in my career, but it's not an absolute no.

If I got paid double to wear one, sure. Other than that, no.

I don’t think it’s going to happen that way. Body cams are needed if you want to record people working in the field, such as police officers, but for people working at a fixed location, an office or factory or what have you, CCTV cameras are cheaper, less intrusive, and harder for a bad actor to screw with by “accidentally” covering their lens or forgetting to turn their unit on.

I literally work for what amounts to a media business, giving me a body cam would be like giving ice to an eskimo.

Body cams can already be had for cheap Electronics wise, they're not complicated or special. Yet, they're still not in widespread use beyond police.

The reason police body cams are pricey is because 1) "military/police grade" ~~rip-off~~ premium pricing and 2) The housing has to be designed to be waterproof, shockproof, dust proof etc because of what they do on a day to day.

A retail worker is not going to need this level of "proofing" because they're not running through an alley or something in their day to day

Absolutely. No better way to prove that you’ve been mistreated by customers or coworkers.

If I have a gun or am in charge of security, sure. If I’m just flipping burgers, absolutely not. The security camera in the corner is plenty.

Suggestions to buy bodycams that aren't WiFi/Bluetooth?
