Video cameras in cars make some cops uncomfortable Fear they might get in trouble: 'It will take a while to be accepted' - In the 1960s, Chicago cops initially griped about having to wear radios on their belts.

Quote from the article:

Now some officers have been resisting the latest police technology: video cameras installed in 340 vehicles. "For an organization of this size, this is a fundamental change, and it will take a while to be accepted," said Jonathan Lewin, commander of the Information Technology Section. Privately, some cops told the Chicago Sun-Times they were ignoring the rule to turn on camera systems because they're worried their words and actions will come back to haunt them. They explained they sometimes must use harsh language to establish control over people they stop.
