Surveilling the Police - PistolCam Tracks Cop Shots (VIDEO)
[Edit]
[Edit]
The PistolCam is a video camera that fits onto the guns of police offers to document each time a weapon is discharged in order to verify whether the shooting of a suspect was justified or not.
We’re all familiar with the police car cams from shows like COPS. They officers document what they think will be a routine traffic stop, and turn it into a hairy encounter with a crack fueled criminal with an outstanding warrant in a stolen car.
The PistolCam could resolve a lot of potential conflicts where police are accused of unjustly shooting suspects.
The Newburgh police department is about to make the local crack addicts and hookers into celebrities, thanks to a trial of a gun-mounted camera system.
The little camera records whatever the gun's pointing at. So for 99% of the day it'll be the floor and urinals of the local Dunkin' Donuts, then it'll all blaze into life when officer Kochansky eventually waddles into action.
