CCTV and social media yes but a bodycam?

Seriously?

Would just video using phone if it came to such a situation

But imagine all the bodycam footage from when things go wrong on a daily basis...

I think all you would see hear, was quad handle bars, brrrm noise.
Great over waterproofs.
Be like some very dull slow tv.

It would be like this when filming ourselves

A body cam, switched on only when confronted by an aggressive hare courser, rambler, trespasser, etc., could produce some very useful evidence in court? No need to have them switched on all the time. And they are cheap enough. Retired cop advised me to do this when dealing with harassing neighbour.

Yes, good point.

After a run-in with an alleged RSPCA employee and his mates, it would have been good to have filmed the event.

Wish I had one when , I confronted 3 ladies on a footpath.
One berated me in no uncertain fashion , to the great embarrassment of her friends.
She knew where she was, in the right place and exercising her lawful duty.
It would have made great video as I quietly explained that they were half a mile off course, and if they carried on where they were going, it would lead them to a busy road to get to their destination.
To add salt to her wounds , I very carefully pointed out a nice private way round the back of my garden to cut out the road
