FR is not a text-only website. Have you seen how much a FReepathon costs?

Okay, a Google-sized server farm will be needed to archive all of the cop footage that will be collected and the cost of those will be astronomical to the taxpayer. Just imagine every single police department in the U.S. getting body cams and then they have to save all that footage.

I know how much a Freepathon costs. I also know how much bandwidth and servers cost. I can assure you that 100% of those funds are not being used to cover expenses for this site.

You really don’t understand technology. To put it in perspective, I purchased a security system for my shop which recorded seven days’ worth of digital video from the cameras (motion-activated). This cost less than $1000. It is not necessary to archive cop bodycam video indefinitely—when there is an incident, the video surrounding that incident needs to be entered as evidence, not all the video.
