Put a few of them in jail, didn't it?

And you're full of shit, as usual.

"A comprehensive review of 70 studies of body-worn cameras use found 
that the larger body of research on body-worn cameras showed no 
consistent or no statistically significant effects. This meta-analysis 
was rated by CrimeSolutions and resulted in a No Effects rating for the 
impact of body-worn cameras on use of force, assaults on officers, 
officer-initiated calls for service, arrests, traffic stops and tickets, 
and field interviews."

Keep bullshitting... some say it might work.
