The AP article for those that don't want to listen: https://apnews.com/article/raiders-nfl-vegas-police-allegiant-stadium-5239b9962c23a6512fa2f694add9b9ea

The highlight for me is this:

The Las Vegas Police Protective Association, with the backing of the department, said they are concerned such technology compromises the officers’ privacy.

It's worth noting they're only doing this for workers, not for attendees. The police would presumably by fine with it if it were just attendees and not workers, because it wouldn't include them.
