Officer should face the same consequences as drivers who delete their own dash cam footage when they are at fault: prima facie presumption of guilt

I understand sensitive personal information may be a concern if this were the case, however, police can easily redact and/or mute these portions of the recording before a public release. In fact, this already happens frequently. But regardless, I believe a judge or jury reviewing body cam footage should have access to a complete un-redacted record during court proceedings.
