Taser formed out a new band of body-wearable cameras for law administration today, the Axon Flex line, advised to be beat on sunglasses and almanac again upload video to the billow from the officer's point of view. They're alluringly frightening!
The 3.2-inch cameras abundance two four to six hours of footage at a time (which seems short), accept a 14 hour array life, and are accordant with iOS and Android for wireless viewing. They arise on a brace of Oakley Flak Jacket glasses (or hats, or clothes, or helmets, you name it) and automatically almanac video to a DVR, which is again automatically uploaded to Evidence.com at the end of an officer's shift. They're advised to plan in low light.
The abstraction is that the glasses accommodate two safeguards, one to the accessible and one to the po-po.
Because the video is tamperproof, it agency that it's about a attestant that can prove (or disprove) bad behavior by the police. Which abundantly explains why the abundant maligned BART badge department, which has struggled with accuse of boundless force in contempo years, has already ordered 150 of them. As the Axon Flex website euphemistically notes, recording video "improves behavior of all parties during badge interactions."
But it aswell provides a aegis for the administrator too. Again it helps prove, or disprove, that things went down the way the badge claim. And moreover, because it provides the officer's accurate point of view, it can advice accommodate angle not just on what in fact happened, but on how the badge perceived it.
I can see how badge admiral ability accept a love/hate accord with the Axon. It is basically axis cops into sort-of cyborgs. It's putting that in-dash camera appropriate on the face. And actual likely, it will be accustomed added acceptance than administrator testimony.
