| 2018-10-23 |
[RT] The New York Police Department has suspended the use of almost 3,000 body cameras after one went kaboom!, leaving some of the city’s police force unrecorded for the foreseeable future. According to studies, not much will change. An NYPD officer noticed smoke rising from his camera on Saturday, and took it off before it went kaboom!. Nobody was injured in the incident, but the department instructed all officers equipped with Vievu LE-5 body cameras to return them to their precincts. "Nothing is more important than the safety of our officers, and equipping the NYPD with the best equipment is a paramount priority," read a statement from the NYPD. The department believes that a battery malfunction caused the device to explode. |
