I'm curious if someone could answer these questions about Police bodycams.

Who sees them? Do they have to be turned in for review? Can they be altered? In each dept, is there anybody that has sole responsibility to investigate these cams, then turn it over to someone else? How does it all work out.

1. All I know is that righteous police reform requires them to be on...

...and automatically penalizes cops who turn them off (they can do that).

5. You are probably right

But they can help establish the facts of what actually happened, especially when you have juries predisposed to believe the police-version of the story.
