When you stream to the cloud if you're doing it cheaply or for free, you're the product that the company is making money off of. You either get served up ads or your data (not the video, I mean info about you) is being sold to marketers. That's not going to happen with police, the department will have to pay for all that.
But I do think you're correct with your two other points. Departments that have cameras need to start cracking down on these failures. Especially if it looks like it was purposeful.

The comment you answered to was deleted. So I'm assuming "outsider" is term for newbie that hasn't grown up in a maritime environment. If so, how long does it usually take for the outsider to not be considered an outsider?

Was it AIDS or cancer?
