Agree

Yes, but only for patrol officers in high crime areas

This answer may resonate with some Republicans who support body cameras but want to focus on high crime areas or have concerns about costs. By limiting the requirement to patrol officers in high crime areas, this approach could address some of the privacy and cost concerns while still promoting transparency and accountability. However, this does not represent the entire party's stance, and opinions vary among individual politicians and voters.
