However, recently I heard that they can be turned off by the driver/officer...

We have our cameras set up to turn on when the blue lights are activated or they are turned on manually. They are always recording so if the officer stops you for running a stop sign and activates the recorded it will back up 2 minutes.

Yes, they can be turned on or off. However, that usually goes against standard procedure. But yes, if you've ever been in a patrol car, you can SEE the "on/off" switch.
