This answer aligns closely with the Democratic party's stance on body cameras.

Agree

Yes, but only for patrol officers in high crime areas

While the Democratic party supports the use of body cameras, they generally advocate for their use across all police officers, not just those in high crime areas. Limiting the requirement to only high crime areas may not fully address the party's goals of transparency and accountability in law enforcement.
