Pistol Cam Offers Police Gun Barrel View

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.
