Body-Worn Cameras (BWCs) to Capture your Evidence Efficiently

 In the past, the ‘his word against the other’ scenarios left countless decisions going in the wrong direction. The world has moved on from the old ways of relying on a witness’ words alone. Today, the law considers audio and video as the best witness.

The case of Derek Chauvin and George Floyd stunned the world. It was the body-worn camera of the former that helped speed up the investigation and get accurate facts for the case.
That incident further underlined the importance of body-worn cameras (BWC) for people who are in the line of duty.


What are Body-worn Cameras?
