I am lucky to have had very few interactions with these. When I think about body cameras, I think about the way they have been commercialized into new media. They take form for the public as cop shows and on TV or crime videos on YouTube. Cops are armed with firearms, batons, tasers and… cameras. Both the cameras and guns shoot their subjects. The way cameras are used to validate reality shouldn't be overlooked. They are supposed to showcase good vs evil and provide a reasoning for brutality. When I think of the way police violence is showcased in the media, I think of external cameras pointed at the perpetrators, not the body cameras showcasing a POV. Seeing a POV of this brutality, placing yourself as the perpetrator of the violence, would surely deliver a different emotional response.
