Within seconds of contact, the driver asks the deputy point-blank: 'Is your body cam rolling?' The cop turns it on. That single question does three things at once: it forces documentation of everything that follows, signals that the driver is informed and will litigate if needed, and creates a record the officer knows is being created. Police behavior measurably changes when they know a camera is live.
