I actually happen to like this idea. I think the whole Sean Bell trial never ever even would have happened if there were camera's on the gun.

[Harpo Speaks]

Coming soon to a gun near you...

[Michael.SF.]

How is the camera going to record what prompted the officer to pull his gun in the first place?

[John Jorsett]

I’m going to go out on a limb here and say that cops won’t like this idea much. Except to impose it on the public. That they’ll love.

All this will give you is a guns eye view of the scene instead of the cops view of the scene. Two very different things that would only serve to confuse an investigation.

Nothing like giving the perp a nice bright target to hit - remember “3 on a match” from WWII ???

You like this idea? I don't, I think it's a terrible idea that undermines police authority at the expense of public saftey. Which is why:

In the Democrat-led Assembly, Adams and his colleagues in the influential black, Hispanic and Asian caucus like the idea.

[JoeFromSidney]

It's proprietary technology and there's only one source. I don't like that idea.

It would have been more informative to point out that Eric Adams has made a reputation of being anti-police.

[Darren McCarty]

I have mixed views on this. I think there are some benefits to this, but I'm concerned about this being required on all guns someday. I also am concerned if it affects the functions of the gun making it unsafe for all of us. How would the camera work?

[Mark was here]

Why not have cops wear helmet cams and record their entire day?

[VideoDoctor]

How about putting cameras on the idiot politicians.
