COPS AND CAMERAS: As More Police Wear Cameras, Policy Questions Arise. “The next time you talk to a police officer, you might find yourself staring into a lens. Companies such as Taser and Vievu are making small, durable cameras designed to be worn on police officer’s uniforms. The idea is to capture video from the officer’s point of view, for use as evidence against suspects, as well as to help monitor officers’ behavior toward the public.” So long as the video isn’t conveniently “lost” at crucial times, I think this is a good idea. And it certainly undercuts the lame argument that people shouldn’t be able to record cops on duty, though I suppose some people will remain capable of a double standard here.

Of course, it’s another reason why you may not want to talk to the police, or let them into your home.
