A new company has introduced a product designed to be attached to firearms (pistols) that will record shootings onto an internal flash chip.


From their website at:http://www.pistolcam.com/default.asp













PistolCam, with its patented Auto-On™ technology, will automatically provide video/audio documentation of a perpetrator’s hostile actions. Using state of the art MPEG4 digital imaging technology, PistolCam will record up to 60 minutes of VGA digital video and sound at a full 30 frames per second.

When memory nears capacity, PistolCam will automatically switch to Auto Stills mode and capture a full 3.2 megapixel digital photograph upon shot recoil.










The ultra-high intensity tactical illuminator as well as the integrated laser targeting system can be preset in any combination to turn on when the weapon is drawn. Mini USB port provides instant downloads, allowing for distribution of video/photo documentation to aid in apprehension of fleeing suspects. Security software aids in evidence chain documentation.
Whether providing superior situational awareness with the integrated ultra bright illuminator, superior targeting with the on-board laser sighting system, or liability protection from baseless litigation, PistolCam will provide the latest in crime fighting technology.

















 


So...what do you think...? Good idea, bad idea?

I think this is just another gimick that is being put out there to agancies to make money. I think it is just one more thing crooked lawyers who are second-guessing officer's actions in use of force situations.

Hate the idea. This was a feature article just the other day and as far as I could see it was unanimous that LEO's were against this

I did a site search for "pistol camera" and nothing matching was returned in the results. Do you have a link to the feature article? Thanks!

When the bad guys start wearing 'crook cam', I'll attach a camera to my pistol.


Great danger lies in the notion that we can reason with evil.

How about helmet cam? Hat cams? Surgically implanted cams? Ass cam? Anything to make a buck! Maybe a camera crew with a sound man can ride along with every cop and film everything????? Thank God for retirement!

Based on WA standards on firearms training this stupid gadget would not do anyhting.  We are teaching to not challenge suspects with our weapons pointed in.  We are teaching when the weapon is pointed in you have made conscious descion to fire.  Therefore the behavior of the suspect will not be caught by the camera since the weapon is not pointed at the suspect until the decsion to fire has been made.

Why not just cut the crap and implant a cam into every officers eyeball and include a microphone in their ears so that it can be recorded as well....

Just one more microscope to be put under.


All that is necessary for evil to succeed is that good men do nothing.

If it looks like a duck, quacks like a duck and walks like a duck, then it may be a troll doing an impression of a duck.

Keep it away from me, if my testimony isn't good enough I'll seek employment elsewhere.
