[QUOTE="Gadsden, post: 3883844, member: 49555"] Apples and Oranges... There is a huge difference between using a dash cam and the video it captures to prove how fast you were going, if you were at fault in an accident or whether or not you ran a light and using a body cam, that may very well not have captured the whole incident and the surrounding area, to defend yourself for using lethal force and possible homicide charges where every small detail of the video will be dissected by attorneys. Additionally, a dash cam stays in the vehicle and goes relatively unnoticed, the same thing can't be said about a body cam. So, are you really willing to walk around with a body cam attached to you everywhere you go on the remote chance you may have an encounter with some crazy person? Also, unlike dash cams that obtain their power from the vehicle and can basically run continuously, body cams run off of batteries and have to be activated to work. In other words you can't just leave them running all the time or your batteries will die. This means that if you do find yourself in a situation that you want to record you have to remember to activate the body cam while dealing with the situation. Speaking from experience that is much, much easier said than done. [/QUOTE]
