Its a horrible idea because it only offers one very very narrow point of view of the situation, nothing about leading up to the tasing/shooting etc. With people watching things on TV and thinking its gospel, its a diaster waiting to happen.Quote:

Which could absolutely backfire on the good guy shooter if/when viewed by a jury.

The good news is that the still camera wouldn't need a flash! Say cheese!
I still don't know if I'm seeing this one. Even at 30 fps (frames not feet) I would think there'd be some issues with overly jerky, blurry video. I mean, watch Cops sometime. The camera man is running with a full-sized camera and you can't see a thing. How much worse would it be with a pistolcam, especially once you put someone under stress where they're constantly scanning their surroundings... Although, it could make for some fun home videos... "Here's Johnny's 4th birthday. Oh, and here's where we had to shoot that home invader. Took almost a whole bottle of carpet cleaner for that one!"
Some other silly LE products we could introduce:
1. Kindcuffs - would measure and record the amount to force used to apply handcuffs and how tight they were on the wrist of the innocent until proven guilty.
2. Flexiboots - wouldn't break the ribs of the Pelosi/Reid/Kennedy/Obama/Clinton constituent that you are trying to subdue.
3. Profanitizer - automatically bleeps any cursing from an officer, so as not to needlessly offend others while apprehending them.

Not in a million years!
if i ever have to shoot someone, the fewer witnesses the better. hopefully it would be my word against a dead bad guy with a gun in his hand.
Ahhhhh... NO! :tongue:

Well shoot, the batteries in mine just won't stay charged, Darn. :image035:Quote:

It would make neat videos for training and entertainment use (i.e., Youtube), particulary of pistol matches.
Other than that, kinda useless.

The best argument that it's a bad idea? The D.C. Police are considering it!! :hand5:
No thanks. I carry AIWB...:embarassed:
Not even remotely close to a good idea for anyone.
