Desktop unless you want to upgrade every 3 years and spend twice as much to do so.

I just swallow them. If it passes, I dig the battery out of my poop and try it in my TV remote to see if it's good. If I die after days of agony, the battery is a witch.

When people's lives are at stake, I absolutely think they should be required. And given the constant supply of questionable behavior by NYPD cops (plenty of which I've personally witnessed), I'd say doubly so.

I think we make that clear in the post. This isn't the kind of thing you do for "Hey how's it going," this is the kind of thing you do when you're sending tax documents to your accountant or medical records to your doctor.

they aren't robots, but they are public servants. if this is for the good of their community, i fail to see how its even an issue. ESPECIALLY when it comes to the discriminatory practice of stop and frisk.

It is. I deal with it because I'm an adult.

In theory and under the law, yes, but that does not stop police from arresting people for bullshit reasons and then confiscating the videos because they don't want to be recorded. Laws need to be passed that come down HARD on any police officer that does this.

Here's a pet theory of mine. The rumoured "iWatch" isn't a wristwatch at all, but the fabled TV. Apple is just trolling Samsung, Google, Microsoft etc. by making them think it's a watch.

EVERY person in authority who can legally touch you or your property should be required to have a functioning audiovisual recording device worn and operating. The technology to do this now exists. So there are no more excuses not to.

Not exactly, there are archaic draconian laws that can potentially turn your life upside down for "video taping" the wrong "person". Basically, "they" can but you can't.

As a former soldier that was in Iraq back when the Iraqi police and army were more wishful thinking then functioning entity. Who has also put up with constant and repetitive training on police work for base security. That whole thing about about his loud music and acts trying to distract them is either complete BS or…

Absolutely 100% right.

I would even go one step further, and say that the video should be uploaded to the internet, accessible and searchable to the public online. Blur the faces of innocent bystanders and redact sensitive information where necessary, but it should definitely be public domain information available to…

Recording it self isn't illegal. It was the fact that they used some general catch all "obstruction" to arrest him for recording. If the guy with the dog hadn't been recorded by someone else then he would have likely stayed arrested. So while a law might not need changing. Their needs strict policy changes so police…

The term "public servant" has been around for a long time and comes from the fact that public employment is also known as "civil service." Similarly, it is generally understood that the role of the police is to "protect and serve."

Cops wearing cameras? Yes, please.

Officers of the law are CIVIL SERVANTS. They deserve the same respect that you would give to any other human on the planet but they are not above any of us. Making sure that there is a true way to audit the skills they are hired for, such as identifying suspects correctly after an arrest, seems like a good idea to me.

Yes. There has been a proven and rampant culture of thuggish\gang-like behavior exhibited by "New York's Finest". A very much "Us vs. Them" mentality that has stained everything they claim to uphold and protect. They treat citizens with contempt and as second class, with the police force acting as first class…

I would think that if it was mandated that a police officer have their camera operating at all times, with the option to disable them for "private moments" would be sufficient.

Yes.

Other than the obvious objections from the police union (yawn), there's absolutely NO reason that this shouldn't be implemented, everywhere.
