Taser's Latest Police Weapon: The Tiny Camera and the Cloud
http://j.mp/wYPfM5 (New York Times)
"On Tuesday, Taser will announce a camera, a half-ounce unit about the
size of a cigar stub that clips on to a collar or sunglasses of an
officer and can record two hours of video during a shift."

Apropos this topic, please see my comments (from 2010) regarding this

[Excerpt]
"Weinstein's other concern with the AXON system deals with privacy. He
wonders what will happen when police respond to a domestic disturbance
call and enter a private residence with AXON recording everything the
officer sees. "Could you take that video and hand it to someone in the
backroom and say 'Go through it with a fine tooth comb'" with the aim
of finding additional evidence not found in the officer's original
investigation?"
