<![CDATA[Police Video Camera's]]>This is not a rip on cops thread. The Fargo PD has just installed 30 some camera's in cruisers. Watch what you do you may be on TV. I see them being handy for cutting down on citizen complaints about stops. I see them as a good thing. Discuss.

I coulda been passing the person before I got my racing ticket with (at high speed). I see benefits to having the slow turn on function as well as the always on.

My neighbor used to be one and when they first got them he showed it in detail to me and explained EVERYTING about the ones they have. They are pretty pimp cameras in my opinion.

The new cameras capture images that will be downloaded wirelessly to a server/storage system at either the police station or the central garage. They can be viewed on a computer and transferred later to CDs for use in court or as training aids.

Now lets not turn this into a cop bashing thread. There is enough of the already. These cameras are for everyones benefit, the cameras won't cause you problems unless you are breakin the law.

I would think that they would leave them on. I buy and sell used cop equipment. Most of those camera's record to tape.

According to the acticle they steam video to a wireless server. Im thinking that part might be BS. That would be one hell of a setup. Steaming video from 30 cars. I pretty sure they record just to tape. I will have to do some searching.

Im half and half on this. I dont like being video taped. I dont think anyone does. But hopefull "My buddy in the brown/gold neon gets caught." 🙂

They turn on whenever the officer turns it on, turns on the red lights, by microphone, or if the car is hit. Thats a really cool feature. However, I can see a lot being missed because the camera is turned on too late.

You can subponea the PD for a copy of the video should you get pulled over and fight a ticket in court.

J/K. But I think it is a good Idea. Are they only when they pull someone over? Or is it always running? Either way still a good thing IMO.
