My thoughts exactly.no, unless you're one of those goof balls who just likes getting into confrontations. And if you're one of those people - the camera is likely to damn you as much as it is to save you.
So, then my my bike GoPro cam may be in violation?A body cam worn by an individual may run afoul of WA wiretapping law as this is a very strict 2 party consent state:
RCW 9.73.030: Intercepting, recording, or divulging private communication—Consent required—Exceptions.
While there was a recent WA Supreme Court ruling (2017) allowing 1 party consent as an exception:
"conversations of an emergency nature -- or which convey threats of bodily harm -- may be recorded with the consent of one party to the conversation."
Recording prior to the "emergency nature" may preclude the entire recording.

I'm looking forward to the youtube videos!Well, it is a camera, with sound ability, so it records my biking action and possible crazies on the street.
Not unless you're doing plain clothes. Even then we would have to get our suits tailored specifically to conceal IIIA body armor. You're better off wearing a ferro concepts slickster and buying an XXL flannel. That's like saying you should carry a fire extinguisher on your person in case of a fire. The battle plan starts at avoiding confrontation and then recognizing when you shoot or don't shoot. It's easy to rest under the false security of soft armor.
Ah come on, give me a break!
I'm getting to that age where I'm deciding wether or not I should wear underwear?
