Re:I'd say Great Idea (Score 1)

I couldn't agree more. I think technology such as wearable video recorders could be a great equalizer of power, even if it's in the hands of the authorities. Currently, a cop's word holds a lot more weight than a civilian's. Countless crooked cops fabricating charges against people who've done nothing, just because they can. Sometimes this bullying is caught on tape and the civilian gets a little bit of justice. This degree of transparency should be the norm. In fact, I would go so far as to say that given reliable wearable video technology, a cop's testimony should be considered inadmissible unless the incident in question has been continuously video taped by his camera. Google Glass is probably not the right technology for this purpose, but technology will get there.
