Psssttt... let me know, I have a hack for that series. :rofl
 
I don't think you'd want bodycams to have wifi, unless you can control when it transmits. I wouldn't want something attached to my chest that is transmitting a couple GB's worth of data every day. Cancer risk.

I hope evidence for that link is weak. I spend most of my day in direct contact with bluetooth, two way radio voice & radio data, wifi, & cellular transmission.

Nobody tests anything over a person's entire lifespan, not even drugs.......so there's no way to say for sure. But I suspect that over the long run, we're altering evolution a bit.
 
Some of us don't mind HI's input. And since some of you are calling him out you must not mind it either.

I'd like to know the profit margin on all these cameras. No-bid contract too, I'm guessing.

On this issue I don't care so much if a few pockets get lines as long as it helps sheds some light on police use of force. With the proper policies in place, I think body cams are a good thing for cops and the public.

What ends up happening very often with these kinds of things is that 'connected' companies get the contract and get paid at least 3X the going rate. I've seen that happen with software especially, but also hardware.

The name of the game is to find somebody in the public entity who is making the decision and offer them what amounts to kick-backs. Profit.

That's one reason why departments have to use such crappy software despite the really high cost of it.

Much true. I've seen some rank shit in municipal bidding. There's one Oakland company that has gotten most of the electrical work for decades. I really would like to see how many <$10k change orders they have issued. (That's the cutoff where the manager has to get upstream approval). When I did Oakland work the managers TOLD me to keep change orders under $10k so that they could approve them. :laughing

Well duh...you guys share the same name! Shaun's gots to stick together!
 
Even if the first two shots are from the front and the final three are into his back while he's running away, at least he had a gun in his hand. Good shooting too. Run-stop-shoot at a moving target from 20+ feet away with a pistol is about five hundred times harder than it sounds.
