If the ideal police officer is a mechanistic follower of written law, these cameras are perfect. No right minded officer would stray from instruction while their actions are recorded in plain sight.
But I'm not entirely convinced of their worth. While onboard cameras provide concrete evidence in court, and undoubtedly solve problems in our society, we might as well replace our officers with robots (this might not be a bad idea).
- iLoch 13y agoI disagree with your robot sentiment - well, at least I don't think that's the solution yet. If a robot is going to be lethal you've got a whole host of problems that you didn't have before (ie. Someone steals it and hacks it to terrorize) Also there are so many social queues in our day to day lives that are hard or potentially impossible for a robot to understand (at least with today's tech) - like someone jokingly saying "I'm gonna kill you!" to their friend. Once we get those problems figured out then sure, that's yet another job that we can automate.
