Dash cam video/audio is a safety device:
1. Safety of officer
2. Safety of suspect/victim
3. Safety of the case
5. Safety of the public.
Dash cam video/audio holds all individuals in the incident accountable. It documents officer doing their job, officer incompetence, officer misconduct, officer brutality.
“We have held that
when the State suppresses or fails to disclose material exculpatory
evidence, the good or bad faith of the prosecution is irrelevant: a
due process violation occurs whenever such evidence is withheld.”

Use of Arrest Reports in Criminal
Cases
Arrest reports are almost always
one-sided. They recite only what the police claim took place,
and may include only witness statements that support police theory.
While they are generally not admissible as evidence in a trial,
arrest reports can have a major impact in criminal cases. Not only do
arrest reports often determine what charges prosecutors file, but
they also may play a key role in how much bail is required, the
outcome of preliminary hearings (where hearsay evidence is often
admissible), the willingness of the prosecutor to plea bargain, and
trial tactics (for instance, the police report can be used to
discredit testimony of the police officer who prepared the report).

Berman. The Criminal Law Handbook: Know Your Rights, Survive The
System, 11th Edition. Page 142.
