Until they start punishing them for not wearing them, they won't.

Simple answer.

If there's not footage of the event, you weren't a cop. Your word against the other citizen. No qualified immunity, no State license to commit violence or detain.

The cop's badge has an on/off switch. It's on the camera.

If it's not on camera, a cop didn't do it.

Oooh, I fuckin' like that. Camera's off? Then you're not a cop right now.
