I recently watched a story on the local news that said Houston police would start wearing personal video recording devices.
We have all become used to the videos that we see from police dash cams during pursuits and traffic violation stops, however what we are talking about here is the ability for the police to record you up close and personal.
Now the police will have a record of not only your words, but your facial expressions. How much more weight will that carry with the judge or a jury?
Add to that the police officer's word and to some degree his attitude will be on the record, but not his face, motions etc...
Well here's a solution.
First a brief video...

Okay not so brief, but it's a good test video, now here is what I used to record it, and yes it is in high definition.

This is a $40 shipped DVR system from eBay (China seller). Matt (msmoorenburg) the seldom heard from post wise told me about this little gem. His brother actually used one on a RC glider that produced some really stunning results.
The police may have their way to record us, but as the public we too have the ability to record those that have power over us!
