Space nerds and NASA would love if they could get GLs to wear body cams.
Oh! Didn't even think of that.
Another I didn't think of: if most of us knew how powerful The Guardians of Oa are, the idea of them enlisting an agent on our planet would make GLs VERY unpopular.
In a related thought, if the populace lived A Day In The Life Of John Constantine, most religious zealots (regardless of faith) would hold a bonfire with him as The Central Log.
On the other hand: I imagine both (JLI Era) Booster Gold and Guy Gardner would make out like bandits for opposite reasons. Booster would be media savvy enough to make best use of it. Gardner was a jerk, but he was pure in a way the hard core right would adore.

The Book of Oa collected all the stories of all the GL's so yeah, there's recording going on. They just don't get constantly monitored unless the Book decided you should know something. Also Hal used to have to 'make reports' and 'file paperwork' before the corps became a glorified police show.
On a separate note... I would be VERY surprised if Booster Gold doesn't HAVE a body camera... or if Skeets was instructed to record everything so he could watch it later
Your description of the GL corps is totally at odds with how the organisation is actually depicted in the books.
The hierarchy is enforced by the writers. The League is treated as the number one Super team on the planet and the Trinity are clearly authority figures. I think you're confusing what you want these guys to be with what they actually are.
They were not "dealt with". These actions were ignored and the heroes suffered no consequences save for a bit of scolding and then it was forgotten about. The closest we got was Superman getting called out by WW in Rucka's run for covering up the Leagur's mindwipes and that was forgotten about in Infinite Crisis. Hell, they made Black Canary, one of conspirators in the mindwipe business, the Chairwoman of the League.
Superheroes have all the same problems cops have dialed up to 11 which is why it's so laughable to see superhero fans lamenting the they don't tackle corruption. Most superhero writers know they'll be throwing stones in glass houses if they did that.
Power Girl would wear two cameras.
Sorry, I'll see myself out....
