I agree. They turn off cameras and confiscate other people's videos to prevent their bad behavaior from being exposed :/
All of them should be obliged to have a functional camera of face some penalty for violation.

Most interesting fact it's not only to protect public from them, it's protect them from people too. It's going to decrease pressure on judicial system. I believe they just don't want to spend money on additional equipment and plus you need servers to keep all data from cameras. You need to hire additional IT specialists to manage this system. So they chose the cheapest way ( in their heads) just make harsher punishments for people. They don't see the long term consequences of their actions that we will have more riots and more people in prisons.
They don't want cameras because it hurts the police more than helps them. Plain and simple. Clearly, as you say, time and money is a factor as well. However, I think that if there was no such thing as corrupt police they would all wear cameras by now.
