| Police Service Weapons Equipped with Cameras are Now a Thing |

| [OpsLens] Traditionally, we trusted police officers. For evidentiary purposes we dash-mounted in-car audio/video cameras (great tool to capture actual footage of sobriety tests and police pursuits). Ferguson, Missouri received plenty of attention and ample second-guessing on police procedure from folks who knew zilch about the subject matter. More cops were second-guessed, their every move picked apart like a rank carcass, until the media-mesmerized buzzards circled elsewhere. From cop to cop they went. Then body-worn audio/video cameras hit the market and law enforcement agencies phased them in (cost prohibitive all at once). Nevertheless, debasing the police profession continued and the out-of-control, media-lit powder-keg continued to spark anti-cop, anti-law and order, anti-respect, and anti-critical thinking skills, automatically defaulting to every cop does everything wrong. But wait...now we learn there is more. |
