we have HAD body cams, and they have NOT been held accountable. They make things WORSE because if they catch something on camera later they can use it against you even if it had nothing to do with what was being recorded at the time.

“anything you say can and will be used against you in a court of law”

they tell you flat out they’re out to get you even if they know they’re wrong
Proving innocence is analogous to proving a negative, far harder than proving guilt (a positive) which is why it is not the legal standard.
“Anything you say can and will be used against you in a court of law”
This is literally Hollywood fiction. The Miranda warning has never had “and will”. It does not require any verbal claim that any statements made will be submitted as evidence.
They literally just do it and the courts go along with it.
