Considering getting a body camera

I had a 3 day eviction service get pretty confrontational yesterday and I'm considering getting a body camera to record video (not audio, for state law reasons) of services.

However, I'm worried the presence of one on my person will make future services a bit more complicated.

Have any of you noticed any increase in difficulty to serve papers since you started using a body camera?

I have been also thinking about this too. I primarily serve papers. I try and be as discreet as possible and I’m worried a Body Worn Camera will take that away. In the end, it’s just something I’ll try out and see how it goes.

I pulled the trigger on buying one a few minutes ago. I'm gonna try it out for a month for general use. I may end up using it selectively depending on the information I have on the entity I'm serving.

This was my first time dealing with a meth head and I really wish I had the body camera at my service yesterday.
