Looks like one of the immediate reactions to the Ferguson (and other)
shooting(s) is a call for all police officers in the USA to wear a
camera intended to document what occurs in a police action.

Pros? Cons?

The only con I have heard is the privacy issue. The pictures are in
the public domain and a lot of people who were not actually arrested
can still have their image popping up on youtube.


Well, if you are in the public domain and somebody films you, from what
I know, that is not an invasion of your civil rights. Now I am not sure
how this works on private property, but I suspect those rules may be
different during police activity??
