Police advised to disable Bluetooth on Axon body-worn cameras to avoid detection

Bluetooth has, especially with the adoption of the BLE standard, wholly transformed from this PAN link you only turned on to take fone calls, transfer a file or attach a modem to your computer into an always-on nightmare that incessantly beacons even when there is no need to do so at any time.

The whole pivot around covert work is strange, though. What kind of "covert work" involves a taser and/or a bodycam on the person anyway? Wouldn't the mere physical presence of a bodycam (an Axon bodycam no less) signal something's off?
