1. Ok this might be a stupid question

but don't we really want to see what happens before someone gets tased? Or shot?

3. If it's a stupid question, then I'm a dumb-ass. I thought the same thing.

Of course, there are plenty of other ways to demonstrate that I'm a dumb-ass

5. Well yeah, there's that

baby steps



hopefully baby doesn't step into the line of fire

9. I guess I'm dumb too

Seeing someone get tased doesn't tell me why it happened.

2. There should be a switch turning the camera on everytime the gun is unholstered.

This should also over-ride any attempts to turn the camera off by the officer.

4. I'll see your unholstering of the gun and raise you the car door opening.

Better yet, have the camera turn on when the officer gets the trouble call.

6. Agreed

It should also trigger a body camera


in fact every time a gun is unholstered the body camera should be triggered

8. There should be a video camera on the taser and gun

7. Does it come with a recording of "stop resisting!!' stop trying to grab my gun!!!"?
