I’m confident that police unions will fight this technology, tooth and nail. There are too many situations in which conclusive video evidence will disprove an officer’s testimony
With something like the Shot-Cam, the time-honored phrase “He was reaching into his waistband for a weapon when I shot him” will no longer guarantee exoneration as it does now.

Technology that allows more transparency and less privacy cuts both ways. Police find surveillance video useful, but don’t like to be filmed themselves. I wouldn’t want a camera on my desk, either, but my job doesn’t wield life and death power.
