Comment Re:What happened before the tazing? (Score 4, Insightful) 219

Recall that for a recent shooting of a 12 year old kid in the park the police released video footage. The footage was used in defense of the police actions. They showed a police car driving right up to the kid, getting out and shooting the kid. The cops thought that was perfectly alright because the kid had a gun and they couldn't know the gun wasn't real. But ask any cop in a european country how they would have handled it. First, it's suicidal because if the kid had really been dangerous the cop would have been dead with that maneuver. Second, they should have stayed at a distance and ordered the kid to put the gun down.

Now those cops and taser footage? Any action that the cops don't approve of would be seen (with sincere conviction) as a reason for tasering.

You'll need a solution for all that footage of shoes :) But it's an idea. It's also possible to put things in a constant recording loop . Then at any time you have a recording of the last half minute but it gets overwritten all the time unless you pull the taser out of the holster. Then it gets extended.
