Taser Teams With Evidence.com for Streaming Secure Police Video
TASER International teams with EVIDENCE.com to create the AXON a secure police recording system that is fully portable and strapped on the head. Now there is multiple things going on here why this is noteworthy. For one it sends (streams?) the data directly to the servers of evidence.com in an encrypted secure way. That means nobody (also not the cops themself) can temper the footage. That means it could be an effective tool to watch the watchers and make them accountable for “mistakes” that might happen when an arrest or house search or such is being made. That of course would mean that evidence.com makes the videos available to the public at large but I think this might be even a business model for them so I actually do seem to think this is likely. Now there needs to be a law that prohibits the nice policemen from turning these things off in the heat – make it a felony punishable with a prison sentence or immediate suspension from the job to avoid the “oh I forgot to turn it back on” kind of moments that these fellow friends would likely have at times.
