Body Camera
The duty of law enforcement agencies is not easy; they work very hard to maintain peace and harmony in the community they are serving. They even do not care about their lives and sometimes, even sacrifice their lives to fulfill their duties. One of the most important and prominent parts of the law-enforcement group, along with the other vital organs, is the Police department. The successful accomplishment of the duties by the law enforcement departments, especially the police department, needs to be accompanied with some special aids or props so that the official can take the necessary action in the time of need. These aids or props include weapons, vehicles, a walkie-talkie, and sometimes a trained dog, Taser and a body camera.
A body camera is the latest addition to the equipment list deemed necessary for the proper functioning of the police department. Most of the states consider it a necessity and usually provide their police officials with this device. A body camera, also known by other names like Body-worn camera (BWC), Body-worn video (BWC), body camera or wearable camera refers to a wearable device that records video, audio, and photographic memories or events so that the actions and interactions of the law enforcement personnel can be saved.
In many countries or states, the use of body cameras is considered unnecessary and even unethical, on the basis of the argument that it disrupts the privacy of the duties of the police official; but the reality opposite to this. In fact, the use of body cameras records the details of the activity by the police officials, in the community, and helps in providing better services to the citizens residing in that area. These wearable body cameras are extremely beneficial in order to record the activities or interactions going on between the police official and the victim or the convict, which may lead towards better accountability of the police department.
