Maybe a little off topic here, but I'm really curious about this... apparently police body cams, at least the ones in the city referenced below, even when nominally "off" have a continuous 30-second loop buffer so they can record whatever happened in the 30 seconds before they are activated. I didn't realize that.
Failure to turn on body cameras flouted policy
Question: is there any good reason not to auto-start the camera (if it isn't already running) when a weapon is discharged at close range? That would be a pretty easy signal to detect, I'm thinking. Am I the first person to think of that idea?
