“Cops Shoot First, Review Footage Later”

http://www.usatoday.com/news/nation/2010-10-28-tasercams28_ST_N.htm

Police are mounting new video-cameras onto Tasers to make sure the stun weapons are not misused. Cops are worried that they won’t be able to draw the weapons until someone yells, “Action.”

Conversely, some cops my abuse the Taser Cams by insisting that a second or third take was needed for creative reasons.

Experts say that either crime will go down because of the Taser deterrent, or else all Taser stuns are going to go viral on YouTube.

Some critics have said that Tasers ‘ use amounts to excessive force, and even worse, the video from them lacks any sense of theme, visual storytelling, or character development.
