Ars Technica Reporter Cyrus Farivar takes a look "behind-the-lens" of Taser's police body cams in "What are you doing in my fucking house?" By acting out mock policing scenarios, Farivar learns first hand what it's like to wear a body cam, why they are necessary, and why it's important Police arm themselves with recording devices to not only protect citizens, but themselves. Body cameras will be the most high tech device Police have as part of their daily uniform. Taser is continuously working on ways to make their cameras more intuitive, seamless, and discrete. How will police camera technology evolve? What role will camera tech play in future of police departments? Reporters Autumn Kelly, Michael Gardiner, and Aric Suber-Jenkins hash it out in iDigi's Longform of the Week podcast.
