One thing to note about the case in point here. It’s likely, although not stated, that the Deplorable who was arrested lied to the FBI about his whereabouts during the rally, probably denying that he ever went to DC.
He now facing 10 years for lying, just due to those cameras. And who knows, maybe that was the intent all along. In other words, perhaps the FBI knew he traveled to DC, likely was at the rally, but literally had no evidence. They contact him, lie to him, scare him, and get him to say he never went to DC. And while people shouldn’t lie to the police (that’s what attorneys are for), his life is now ruined, when otherwise he would have been fine.
That’s what these cameras can do to people.

People shouldn’t talk to the police, period. Be nice. Be polite. But don’t talk to them. “My lawyer would kill me if I gave a statement. So I need to talk to him before saying anything.”
In this excellent video, a professor explains how you can get into trouble talking to the police even when you’re both innocent and truthful:
