Houston police and Pct 6 are testing body cams for PO to wear that records video and audio of actions outside the vehicle. See Mayor Parker stmt below. cost about $2,500 each. Might prove useful in a lot of circumstances.
 
Houston Mayor Annise Parker weighed in on the issue Tuesday, releasing a statement to Local 2 which read, "The Houston Police Department launched a pilot program consisting of 100 body cameras last December. I believe they can be useful in documenting the actions of both the public and the police while they are on patrol, but the program is still in the testing phase. As is always the case, finding the funding to provide this type of new technology is always difficult."

I wonder if they would be like a lot of the dash cams and only be activated when on a call. Or would they be active all the time? I guess it could save money in lawsuits claiming abuse that may have never happened.

It cut down on a lot of lawsuits...but not due to the officers actions. People stopped filing false claims because they knew they were on video......

I agree. I couldn't tolerate what they have to go through and still be expected to keep us safe from the bad guys. I wonder how my police friends feel about this camera idea? I'll have to do some checking around on FB.

I heard the same thing and also he tried to get rid of the 287g program but was prevented due to pressure.

Assuming he is racist, then why would we be surprised if the city of Ferguson also had a racist as a PO.

I am disappointed. I was hoping this was a thread about that girl I saw on Barstool sports that had a GoPro on her when she was working out.

I was thinking this was about personal body cams for safety. At this point it might be good for anyone. Cameras are everywhere today, your recorded whenever you step out the door. Might as well record your every move. And yeah arming yourself at home and out in public.
