So, updating the original post to take into account your (and GGP's) comments:

This sounds positive, but it won't capture what happened before the tazing. I'll be impressed when the[y] apply it to handguns and rifles so you can see, for instance, if a cop who claims he is "defending himself" actually was taking carefully-aimed shots from 150 ft with a handgun or rifle at someone running the other way.

It seems to me that it would be paralytic to law enforcement.

In the same way that 24/7 surveillance of the general population by CCTV and the police is paralytic to us?

The police should be called on their mandate "to protect and serve" and have their actions recorded and put into the public domain for all to see. No good (for society at large) can come of secrecy.

Also, the police don't go out on 24/7 shifts. They go out on 8 hour shifts.

Aren't they authorized to taze citizens in their downtime (e.g. on the donut run after work and when cruising ?) If so, maybe the battery should be able to cope with the daily amount time they are able to taze ppl?
