Gun-mounted camera to be tested by US police

By Rain Noe - October 31, 2007

Following a controversial police shooting, the police department of Newburgh, New York will be the first US PD to begin testing the PistolCam. The small device clips to the barrel's underside and begins recording the moment the gun is drawn, which will hopefully make trigger-happy officers think twice before playing Dirty Harry. Either that or they'll have to violate people's civil rights in total darkness.

jason, ever shot a gun..little thing called recoil shock...so the beastie needs some mass for damping as well as a robust case for its intended use.
