Woo-hoo - we made the Drudge Report!

They are subject to discovery.

Proving they ever existed is sort of a prerequisite.  Swallowing a MicroSD is easy, and most of those pen cams don't really have a way to tell you if the card is missing, so "oops, I forgot to put a memory card in it" is plausible.

Once they use em folks will know. They will use em to prove they were right. They will not be able to then claim they didn't record the other stuff.  They can try but it will have legal consequences and more dire professional ones. Plus many of their sources will dry up if they start recording

As I like to say at work (verbally): we cannot be compelled to produce what we do not have.

Sure they will.  People leave stuff at home or forget to turn it on all the time.  Some of my least favorite security incidents involved at least one of the unmonitored cameras or recorders turning out to have a dead battery or no memory card (or a full one) by the time the incident started, and there have been at least a dozen times I only remembered to turn my windshield mounted GoPro on after something already happened that I wish I'd gotten on camera.

And that doesn't even count incidents of recording something, deleting it and pretending it never happened.

Hell, swap the cards daily, and keep yesterday's handy; anything happens, switch to yesterday's card, ditch today's, and let anybody try to prove you didn't forget to turn the camera on, or fail to notice the card was already full.

Then yet again we encounter an area where you see a solution that none of the thousands of journalists can see as viable.Perhaps a consulting service for them? To show them the light? They do record in some instances but they have real reasons why they aren't smart enough to adopt your plan

Because if they were that smart they wouldn't be journalists.  Duh.

An on-body recording would/could contradict the narrative the reporter is interested in telling.

This is like Iraq vs Iran: I just want them both to lose.

Honestly... out of everyone involved, I think I would be most tempted to shoot at the press.

That is so evil     I like it! 

Evil cops vs ghetto trash: can we just build a wall around the place and hope for a high body count

Funny I would have expected this out of East St Louis, not one of the western Burbs.

Now we have a national moment of silence before the investigation has completed.

The shoe store down the street from my little brothers got hit the other night. It wasn't the cops in his town that shot anyone or the store owner but someone just had to have them some shoes. I guess because the people north of there were getting free stuff.

I don't understand why some of the more Balko-ish TV journalists don't hire ill-tempered longshoremen (with freakin' lazer beams) for cameramen when they report on dangerous stories.  Tell 'em "if a cop grabs the camera you can curb-stomp him; the network will back you up because he assaulted you first"

They'd probably work for free.

Stay classy, Maria. Another Iraq/Iran sitchy-ation. I think she co-sponsored that bill to make parents register their guns with schools. Nixon's the one who keeps vetoing pro-gun bills.

I like the way you think.

I didn't catch this thread until now.
Maybe I'm not crazy for carrying a handgun and a tomahawk within easy reach in my car and a carbine in the trunk every day that I commute into the city.

Sounds like you roll a little light to me...I've been known to add a handgun or two, shotgun, and a precision rifle in addition to the rifle and one pistol.

I'm gonna start rollin with a tomahawk, cuz they're awesome
