[quote:Anonymous Coward 499151:MV8yMDUzMjQwXzM0NTEwODYwXzE3NTc5QjhD] There is only one way that this isn't a great idea. That comes into play when the "footage" of the things done gets "lost". It's what they do now to cover up wrong doing. The easy way around that is to throw out any cases where it happens immediately and to assume that it means guilt on the part of the officer if it occurs and they are accused of anything. Much like how you are assumed to be drinking and driving if you are involved in a hit and run, even if no alcohol was involved. Other than that, it's a great idea. It shows what the police are doing and how they are behaving, allowing their actions to be corrected to improve function. It will keep a record of crimes, statements and so one that they get, making paperwork more accurate and easier for them to do, having a word for word reference always available. [/quote]
Original Message
The chief of police of Salt Lake City is hoping to make the accessory mandatory for his on-duty officers, as well as for every other officer in the state. Much like dashboard cameras currently log what’s happening in front of a police officers car during a shift, this tiny glasses-mounted camera will record everything an officer sees--and does--while on patrol.
The technology Salt Lake City is considering is made by Taser (yes, that Taser, they make other things as well).
