Orange County, New York, Sheriffs and also cops with the nearby Newburgh Police Department plan to start field-testing PISTOL CAMS -- cameras mounted on the barrels of their guns. When an officer pulls the gun from its holster, the camera starts videotaping. Police are hoping the cameras will help either prove that shooting perps was justified, or help discipline officers that shoot unlawfully.

I guess the next step is to hook the camera with an "intelligent" system that can objectively judge the danger of the situation (in pico-seconds) and pull the trigger...
Wouldn't surprise me if they are already working on it.
who makes the camera
is this going to be attached to the pistol at all times...i see its a clip on, or is the officer going to have to attach it before every shift...
