The original article title is: "Apple Making Employees Wear Police-Grade Body Cams in Response to Leaks"
In reality:
* It's a few groups who handle hardware, it's not like the entire engineering team is forced to walk around with body cameras or face execution.
* "Police Grade" means nothing - it's an alarming phrased used for no reason.
* "In response to leaks" while fine, makes light of the situation - in reality its concerning hardware designs of one of the most complex hardware operation in the world.
- pksebben 5y agototally fair. "Police Grade" in this context is ragebait, pure and simple.
- dane-pgp 5y ago"Police Grade" should mean that it's designed to withstand situations where the wearer is interacting with physically abusive and/or vomiting people, but if that's part of Apple's design requirements then perhaps there are bigger problems than just the cameras.
- xnyan 5y agoI've evaluated Axon body cameras for compliance to various standards and and the police grade is less vomit resistance (they are in fact durable cameras, but there are many consumer brands that offer similar durability) and more provable digital chain of custody for when you are going to use the resulting video in court. Also, very simple start/stop operation and extremely clear indication that it's on/off.
