Perhaps when an officer sees that his every move is being tracked they will lose some of their Never mess with a Cop attitude.

I would much rather see a cop realize beforehand the potential for a situation to escalate and have him retreat than have him shoot someone who is angry for whatever reason and that result in a $30 million trial judgement for the relatives.

These are no win situations. How many times did law and victims retreat to avoid escalation. At best you delay it, but in the meantime you encourage the bad behavior. And some day you will have to engage.

Just the mere knowledge that anything he does that COULD wind up in such a civil case, would absolutely be reviewed video and audibly, should be enough to curb such behavior. Police aren't stupid.
