Now that police have squad car cameras and body cameras I suppose it was inevitable that they would get gun cameras too. Viridian (of laser fame) is making a 3.2 ounce, 3 inch long camera that would fit onto the rail of a handgun and start recording voice and video whenever the gun was drawn from the holster. It’s primarily for police use and might go into trials as early as October 2017.

It really does seem amazing the amount of data that will soon be generated, moved and stored by our police departments.
And even with all this data, disputes will still occur.
P.S. I just read the first six comments to the story and I am almost in tears that my fellow Minnesotans are either illiterate or technically obtuse. Maybe they are being deliberately dumb (for reasons I can't understand). Makes me very, very sad.
